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.

Celebrate Fairtrade

As we continue as a Fairtrade church, it is inspiring to look at Fairtrade’s wrap up video for 2024. It highlights the incredible achievements brought to life through the stories of farmers, workers, partners, campaigners, and supporters like all of us at Immanuel.

Vinted at Immanuel!

To help us raise funds for Immanuel just bring to church unwanted, good quality, clothes (for men, women and children) and give them to Helena and Ian, who will sell them on Vinted.

Seasonal clothes are preferred  – children’s clothes are particularly popular. Any questions? Have a chat with Helena, Ian or Lizzie.
