Dates for your Diary

On 31st October, church will be open for our Light Party including children’s activities from 4:30 till 6:00pm to celebrate All Saint's Day. There will be Toasted Marshmallows, games, craft activities and as with other Messy Church sessions, there will be a short act of worship and some food.

All Souls, 2nd November

Join us at 10am on 2nd November for our

All Souls service - a time to remember, light candles, and give thanks for loved ones now at peace in God’s care.

There is a sheet at the back of church to collect the names of those to be remembered. Please write names clearly in capitals, to help us get the names right when they are read out. Names can also be emailed to:

Remembrance Day, 9th November 10am

This year, we will remember the 80th anniversary of VJ Day (Victory over Japan Day) and VE Day (Victory in Europe Day).

The two-minute silence will be observed at 11am. Refreshments will be served after the service.

Gift Sunday, 16th 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 16th November. All gifts should be new and unwrapped.


Suggestions for gifts can be found in link - click on the baubles

Celebrate Fairtrade

As we start a new year 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.

RISE UP!

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.

Takefive-stopfraud.org.uk

Take Five is a national campaign that offers straight-forward and  impartial advice to help people protect themselves from financial fraud. Fraudsters will use many tactics to obtain money or financial information from us. Be extremely wary of unsolicited phone calls claiming that there is an issue with your bank account or requesting assistance with an ongoing bank or police investigation.  

Remember not to share your PIN, bank card, or withdraw money or buy items on behalf of a stranger, no matter who they say they are. For more information visit takefive-stopfraud.org.uk


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 (no winter clothes yet) – children’s clothes are particularly popular. Any questions? Have a chat with Helena and Ian.

Voices Together – Community Choir

The Voices Together Community Choir continues to meet at Immanuel on Tuesday evenings during term time. They have grown in number with around 30 – 35 attending regularly. If you love singing, come and join us, we are open to everyone.  For more information see Ann Rose, or just turn up. Everyone welcome.



Thank you!

A very big thank you to all involved in making the Voices Together Concert on 12th October another great success – those who took part, and those who came along to support and

enjoy. An evening of music and song delivered with enthusiasm and skill. 


A total of £500 was raised from donations to help the work of Immanuel in the local community.
