The Well Foodbank

Thank you everybody who has donated food items, pet food, toiletries and cleaning products to The Well - they have been gratefully received and included in food bags going out to individuals and families across Wolverhampton. We aim to supply families with items that will feed them for about three days. Our stocks don't last long and we still need donations from yourselves, so please give whatever you can as it does make a difference. Our trolley is at the back of the church where you go through in to the Oak room. 'It is in giving we receive'.  We send you our very good wishes and thanks for 2024.

Prayer shawls bring the wearer warmth and affection both in times of sorrow and in times of celebration. They make ideal gifts for comforting and celebrating important stages in life.

The making of a prayer shawl is a spiritual practice which embodies our thoughts and prayers for the receiver. It is a gift made in prayer and freely given. The shawls are passed on hand-to-hand and heart-to-heart.

Prayer shawls are prayerfully and lovingly knitted, sometimes with a person in mind or as part of a supply when a need is identified. They can be given to people who are ill, hurting or in a time of transition.

We have given them to people following ~ bereavement ~ during illness ~ to new students ~ for new beginnings ~ to new mums ~ going through a tough time ~ just because.

If you would like more information or if there is someone you would like to give a prayer shawl to, please let me know. They do not need to be a member of this or any other church.
