Gift Sunday – 17th November
Every Christmas Birmingham City Mission provides gifts to around 3,000 children in our city. These children would otherwise not receive Christmas presents.
Could you help by giving a gift for a child aged 0-15 years? Just bring your gift along to church on Sunday 17th November. All gifts should be new and unwrapped.
Suggestions for gifts can be found at the back of church.

RISE UP!
RISE UP! is a new campaign from The Mothers’
Union. It aims to raise awareness and
understanding about domestic abuse.
In support of this campaign, and in line with
Immanuel’s own policy on domestic abuse, you will see a poster on the noticeboard with the local helpline number. Please raise awareness of this.
New Kitchen for the Hall
Work on replacing the kitchen began on 22nd July 2024. This has been made possible by a successful grant application to the National Lottery Community Fund for the installation and materials and a donation from E H Smith towards the cost of the kitchen furniture and appliances. The kitchen is almost complete now, with only minor work left. Please see our Kitchen Project Page for updates.
Little Dots Play Village is at Immanuel Church on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings.
