Welcome to St. Elisabeth’s
We worship in the Episcopal tradition. The Table set in our midst is God’s Table and has no specific denominational or religious label. As God’s children all are welcome to receive communion there.
A welcoming, inclusive congregation in the Village of Glencoe in the North Shore of Chicago, we are an Episcopal Church, part of the Diocese of Chicago, the Episcopal Church in the United States—one of many churches that make up the world-wide Anglican Communion.

Monthly Book Group
Starting in January the group will begin discussing The Faith Club, a book written by three women, a Muslim, a Christian, and a Jew, who came together after 9/11 to write an interfaith children’s book only to discover they needed to have an open and honest dialog with each other about faith, stereotypes, concerns, differences and ideas that connected them. Written in three voices, The Faith Club is a memoir about the authors’ search for faith and mutual respect and discovering interfaith friendship along the way.
The book group meets the third Tuesday of the month at 10:3AM in the Living Room of the Parish House.
All are welcome.
