Why Give

Welcome Revd Sheri Gidney

We are delighted to announce that the Bishop has appointed Revd Sheri Gidney as priest-in-charge of Immanuel Highters Heath and Holy Cross Billesley. It has been a long wait and at last our prayers have been answered.

Revd Sheri is currently vicar of Lickey with Blackwell. She and her husband, Dave, are very familiar with the area around Immanuel, and are looking forward to getting to know us all. Sheri will be licensed at Immanuel Church Tuesday 6th October 7:30pm, details to follow.

Prayer for the Week

God of glory, the end of our searching, help us to lay aside all that prevents us from seeking your kingdom, and to give all that we have to gain the pearl beyond all price, through our Saviour Jesus Christ.

Amen
