Christmas Chocolates for
Peterborough Prison
St Botolph's will once again be collecting tubs of chocolates for prisoners at HMPP. As before, these gifts from local churches and others will be divided up by the Chaplaincy team and distributed along with a card and diary as a gift to each prisoner. They are much appreciated by recipients and reassure those feeling particularly alone that others "on the out" are thinking of them.
The closing dates for receiving our gifts at HMPP is 2nd and 3rd of December and so the tubs need to be in church by Sunday 1st December at the latest, so they can be taken in on the Monday.

The Parish Church of St. Botolph is situated at Thorpe Road, Longthorpe, Peterborough PE3 6LU. We welcome adults and children of all ages to join us for worship and other activities.
Appointment of
Rural Dean of Peterborough
Archdeacon Alison, Rev. Jackie and Bishop Debbie
On Friday 25th October Peterborough Diocese made the following announcement:
Last week during our annual Rural Deans' Residential at Launde Abbey, the Revd Jackie Bullen, pictured here with Bishop Debbie and Archdeacon Alison, was licensed in her new role as the Rural Dean for Peterborough.
A Deanery is a geographical area containing a number of neighbouring churches. The Rural Dean is the missional leader and pastor of the Deanery and, assisted by their Lay Chair, helps guide and deliver the mission of the church in their area.
Jackie, like all our Rural Deans, is also a parish priest and we are incredibly grateful for their dedication, skills and hard work. Congratulations on your new role, Jackie, we look forward to working together!
Bishop Debbie prayed for Jackie:
May God the Holy Spirit guide you. May you be blessed with wisdom, patience and sound judgement. May you always reflect the care and compassion of our Lord to those who look to you for help and guidance. Amen.
