Global Connect launches this week!

We’re excited to launch our new ministry for international students and graduates.

Are YOU an international student or graduate? Come along, try out a variety of activities, meet new people and make some new friends! There’ll be plenty to get involved with, or you can simply relax and hang out in the café.

Around 6pm, we’ll serve a free, hot vegetarian meal — a great opportunity to enjoy some good food and conversation together.

Global Connect is open to people of all faiths and none. It’s run by an international team of volunteers from Elmwood Church, and everyone is welcome.

The event is completely free and open to anyone aged 18+.

If you plan to share the meal, please book with Fran at [email protected] or text 07811663517.

We hope to see you there!

SEPTEMBER IS HERE — AND WE’RE KICKING THINGS OFF!

Summer’s over, routines are returning, and there’s loads happening at church this month!

- NEW SERMON SERIES — BIG QUESTIONS
On Sundays, we’re diving into some of the biggest questions people wrestle with:
* Creation
* War
* Suffering
…and plenty more.

No easy answers. We are not pretending we’ve got it all figured out. Just honest questions and a chance to explore what the Bible and Christian faith have to say.

- BAPTISM SUNDAY
Coming up in a few weeks, we’ll be celebrating baptisms — always a special Sunday!
- CHURCH LUNCH
And afterwards, we’ll eat together, and enjoy some time as a church family.

Whether you’ve been coming for years, you’re new, or you’re just wondering what church is all about…

COME ALONG. GET INVOLVED. DON’T MISS OUT.

Our society often looks down on people who are ageing but the Bible reminds us that even as we approach old age, we still have much to offer.

“They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green.” Psalm 92:14

Age is not a limitation in God’s kingdom. Every season of life can be fruitful, purposeful, and full of His presence.

If you are growing older, remember that God is still growing something beautiful through you. Your wisdom, testimony, prayers, faith, and love can continue to impact generations.

There is still fruit to bear.
There is still purpose to fulfil.
There is still life to give.

Let’s honour every generation and remember: with God, our best fruitfulness is never simply behind us.

When we pause to thank God for His goodness, our hearts are reminded of His faithfulness.

Gratitude doesn't mean life is perfect but it means we choose to focus on the One who is always with us through every season.

There's something we love about the World Cup.

For a few weeks, flags appear in windows, friends gather around TVs, and people who'd normally never speak are suddenly celebrating together.

It's a reminder that we're all looking for connection. We all want to be part of something.

At church, we believe that's true every week—not just during a tournament. Everyone needs a place where they're known, welcomed and can belong.

Come along to Elmwood on any Sunday at 10:30am where you will sure to be given a warm welcome.

LEGACY

This Sunday, we're taking time to reflect on the story we're part of.

We'll look back with gratitude at where we've come from, celebrate God's faithfulness through every season, and look ahead with faith to where He's leading us.

Legacy isn't just about the past—it's about the choices we make today that will impact generations to come. Each of us has a part to play in building a church that points people to Jesus and leaves a lasting mark on our community.

Come expectant, come ready to remember, and come ready to step into the future God is calling us towards.

This Sunday – we'd love to see you there.

We warmly invite you to join us at Elmwood for our Sunday service on 14th June at 10:30am when 4Front Theatre will perform The Fisherman's Tail.
Four humble fishermen: Simon, Andrew, James and John, have got a tale to tell - and it all starts with a fishing competition and a strange man who blows everyone’s efforts out of the water.

With a host of hearty original songs and interactive story-telling, Fisherman’s Tail is a fast-paced, funny, whirlwind adventure exploring the life and miracles of Jesus, as four fishy lads figure out what it means to be Jesus’ first disciples!

Catch it while you can!

Hope you can join us.

Life can sometimes feel like a storm - waves crashing, winds howling, and uncertainty all around us. But just as Jesus spoke peace over the raging sea, He speaks peace into our lives today.

"He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, 'Quiet! Be still!' Then the wind died down and it was completely calm." — Mark 4:39

No matter what storm you may be facing, remember that Jesus is in the boat with you. His presence is greater than any fear, challenge, or circumstance. When we fix our eyes on Him, we find strength, hope, and peace that surpasses understanding.

Whatever you're walking through today, trust the One who calms the storm.

How can we pray for you today? Share in the comments or send us a message.

Our current Sunday series is exploring the theme of Pastoral Care.

Serving one another starts with noticing people.

It looks like checking in on a friend, mentoring a young person, sharing your time, giving a listening ear, supporting someone in need, giving generously, or simply showing kindness in everyday moments.

We don’t have to do everything — but we can all do something. Small acts of love, done consistently, can change lives and strengthen communities.

“Let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” — 1 John 3:18

Our visiting speaker this weekend reminded us of Larry Walters, who was an American man who became famous in 1982 after attaching 42 balloons to a lawn chair and flying thousands of feet into the air over Los Angeles.
This incredible story was made into a musical which Salfordians had the option of seeing at the Lowry.

What started as a plan to float a little above his neighbourhood, turned into an uncontrolled flight reaching about 16,000 feet. He drifted into commercial airspace before eventually descending safely.

His story became known as a symbol of human ambition, risk-taking, and the desire for something more than an ordinary life.

Larry Walkers had said, “I was bored with life. A man can’t just sit around.”

There’s something deeply human in that quote. We were never created to simply exist. We were all made with purpose, movement, and calling.

Some people chase thrills.
Some chase success.
Some chase escape from boredom.

Yet only God gives a life that is truly full.
“I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”John 10:10
