Relive the magic of our 2024 A Chirstmas Story Service...
On Friday 6 December, St Elisabeth’s Church in Reddish was packed to the rafters with Francis House supporters for our annual Christmas Story service.
Guests were treated to a whole host of musical delights, including performances from Stockport Schools Brass Band, the choir of St Elisabeth’s, and soloists Hayley Swanton, Michael Jones, Macie Charnock, Beth Sharp and Steve Condliffe-Jones.
There were also festive readings from the Lord Lieutenant of Greater Manchester, The Mayor of Stockport, Sir Warren Smith and Dr Eamonn O’Neal DL High Sheriff of Greater Manchester.
Anyone who couldn’t make the evening and any guests who wish to relive the magic are invited to watch the recording of the service via the link below.
We hope you enjoy the celebration! If you would like to make a donation in light of the service, you can do so here:
