Dear Friends,

My name is Len Elias and I have recently been appointed as the Lay Minister at Norcliffe Chapel in Styal.

I was born in North Wales, but now live with my wife Sue in Hazel Grove, Stockport.

For the past five years I have been the Lay Minister at Stalybridge Unitarian Free Christian Church, and Sue has serviced as the Pastoral Care Officer at Stalybridge which is an essential function of any Church or Chapel.

I am delighted to have been given the opportunity to serve the population of Styal and the surrounding areas by joining Norcliffe Chapel.

Norcliffe Chapel has a lovely and supportive “Chapel Family” which welcomes everyone, regardless of their faith, or indeed if they do not have a faith at all, to our Sunday Services which start at 3 pm.

We also welcome well behaved dogs to all our services.

At Norcliffe Chapel no one will ever tell you what you should or should not believe as we encourage everyone to come to their own conclusions on religious matters.

I would be delighted if you decide to join us for a service any Sunday. We provide tea and coffee after the service which gives us all an opportunity to get together for conversation and fellowship.

Whatever your reason for coming, I can assure you of a very warm welcome.
