Come along to our service of Holy Communion where palm crosses will be blessed to remind us of Jesus' triumphant journey into Jerusalem where palm branches were waved. We start at 10.45am at the Guildhall on Cathedral Square where we shall process with donkeys before then processing in to church. All ages welcome. Refreshments after the service.

St John the Baptist

Welcome to St John's! We are an inclusive church in the heart of the city of Peterborough - we are here for everyone and have been serving the people of our city as a welcoming community of faith since 1407.  We have two services of Holy Communion each week, at 11am on Sundays and 12 noon on Fridays. The church is also open every Saturday morning for a Saturday Cafe serving hot drinks and delicious home made cakes. St John's is often used as a venue for musical and other events and we are also a Community Support Hub, working in partnership with Peterborough City Council to support our most vulnerable residents.  You can find out more about the church on our parish website, and  details of forthcoming events can be found here. Our daughter church, St Luke's in Mayor's Walk, is at the heart of the residential area of our parish and there is a service of Holy Communion at 9.15am every Sunday and on the first Wednesday each month a Healing Service of prayers and reflection. Every Wednesday between 10-12 there is a friendly drop in - Chill & Chat - for coffee, biscuits and social time. You are assured of a warm welcome at both our churches!
