St John the Baptist Church, Kingsthorpe

From 6–12 July, the Church of England has been celebrating Recognise - a national week dedicated to honouring everyone who serves children, young people and families in our churches and communities.

Today we gathered at St John the Baptist for Canon Jane’s last service as Rector of Kingsthorpe Parish after 16 years of faithful ministry.

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.
