On Wednesday 9 July the Diocesan Synod, accompanied by Parish Treasurers, met with a particular focus on diocesan finances, at Bishop Stopford School in Kettering.
In her presidential address, Bishop Debbie spoke of the joy of the recent ordinations and noted the call for all disciples to work together in making Christ known.
On a gloriously sunny day at the end of June all children at Peakirk-cum-Glinton Church of England Primary School took part in a community prayer event, with younger children completing activities within the school grounds and older children walking a route around Glinton village stopping at prayer stations along the way.

Light Project Peterborough is the Bishop’s Charity for 2025. This amazing charity works to enable and equip the church and community to heal the broken-hearted, set free the oppressed, and bring good news to the poor. They have been active in Peterborough since 2009 and continue to support wherever they can. As part of our focus on their work we hear Elias and Meriam's story.
Children from the 40 locations that are part of the national Flourish pilot, were invited to a celebration at St Martins in the Bullring, Birmingham.
