Foodbank
To Everyone at Immanuel, Highters Heath.
We just want to say a big “thank you” from all of us at foodbank for the food you have collected for us in the past year.
In 2018 you have collected 185.9kg of food, enough for 442 meals.
Our satellite of Sparkhill Foodbank here in Yardley Wood has collected an amazing 7 tonnes 651kg of food, the equivalent of 18,216 meals. We are overwhelmed by people’s generosity. Thanks again and just to let you know that we are now collecting toiletries and household products in addition to food. Toilet rolls, washing up liquid and washing powder are particularly well received by our clients.
We really appreciate your support and will keep you updated with our plans to open a “Pantry” hopefully later this year.
Best wishes
Heather and the team at Sparkhill Foodbank in Yardley Wood.

Welcome to Immanuel Highters Heath
Prayer for the week
Jesus, looks at us with love
A love that sees through all the ‘parts’ of you,
The parts that you don’t like or feel ashamed of
the parts or episodes that you want to forget,
Loving you in all your littleness.
Never forget Jesus loves you.
Amen
Thought for the week
Christ plays in ten thousand places
(from Poems and Prose by G M Hopkins)
Prayer for Immanuel Church
Heavenly Father
We are the family of Immanuel.
We pray for all our family members both young and old. Help us to use every opportunity to care for each other through this season of change.
May we always welcome newcomers into our Church and may your limitless love shine out in all we strive to do.
We pray for the Diocese of Birmingham in these challenging times as they explore your will for the future ministry of your church.
Help us to grow together and give us hope.
Remind us that in our watching, waiting and listening,
You are Immanuel – God with Us.
Amen
