Click here Welcome to our monthly digital newsletter with events and holy happenings from around the Diocese of Peterborough.If you have stories to be included in future editions email: communications@peterborough-diocese.org.uk We are pleased to announce that Dame Sarah Mullally, Archbishop of Canterbury, will be visiting the Diocese of Peterborough this month, her first diocesan visit since her installation. This is a wonderful opportunity to welcome Archbishop Sarah and to celebrate the life and witness of our diocesan family. Archbishop Sarah will be preaching at evensong at Peterborough Cathedral on Sunday 17 May at 3.30pm and all are welcome. The Church of St Mary the Virgin, Finedon has been exploring new ways to welcome its local community, and its recent, immersive prayer trail offered a deeply reflective, personal reconnection with the story at the heart of Holy Week. On Saturday, 25 April, St John’s Church in Peterborough became a place not only of music but of generous giving and shared purpose, as it hosted an inspiring 12-hour music-athon, bringing together a rich and varied programme of singers and musicians, each offering their unique gifts in service of a common cause. For many years, the bells of St Mary’s Church, Greetham, stood silent. Before 2022 they were rarely rung, their familiar sound slowly fading from village life. But in 2023, hope was rekindled when a new team of bell ringers came together, eager to restore a much-loved tradition. Peterborough is celebrating a remarkable cultural success as the Titanosaur exhibition at Peterborough Cathedral surpasses 8,000 visitors within its first fortnight. Since opening, the arrival of the colossal Patagotitan mayorum has captivated audiences as it dominates the Cathedral’s historic Crossing. Let's Shine Festival30 May - 7 JuneTaking place in south Northamptonshire, the Let's Shine Festival aims to 'shine a light' on what connects us and brings joy into our precious and beautifully diverse communities.
Thy Kingdom Come14 - 24 MayThis year’s Thy Kingdom Come is all about the presence of God through His spirit. The God who is with us in the everyday – in the joys and sorrows of life (and everything in between) and the One who, through His spirit, longs to reveal Himself to those who do not yet know Him. |
