St John the Baptist Church, Kingsthorpe

This morning we celebrated Pentecost — the moment Christians remember the Holy Spirit being given to Jesus’ followers. It’s often called the Church’s birthday, so of course we had birthday cake!

We are delighted to share that our curate, Angie, will be ordained priest on Saturday 27 June at 4pm in Peterborough Cathedral.

After 16 wonderful years of ministry in our parish, Canon Jane and Jackie will be retiring.

2026 marks the 150th anniversary of the Mothers’ Union, a worldwide Christian movement committed to supporting families and strengthening community life.
