Welcome to St. Oswalds Kings Park! "Terimakasih" - "Thank you" to Danald and Julie for all their time at St Oswald's. They had a great send-off. At the September weekend, friends form Drumchapel came, nearly doubling the 10am congregation. Then there was the Harvest Thanksgiving, combined with thanks to Danald and Julie. The Tea Ladies and all the usual suspects organised that. Their last Sunday might have been an anticlimax, but it was anything but; Valery Vehey, who met Danald twenty years ago, along with three other members of the Diocesan Overseas Committee came to bid the Jute family farewell, the organ,choir and congregation made a joyful noise, the servers served with dignity, Julie took the Sunday School, and Danald celebrated and preached. They have now been sent home with our help, and the Rector's Warden saw them off from Burnside. Well, we keep going, and on there is a note about what the Events Group have planned for November - a visit from female choral group Harmony Incorporated at 2.30pm on Sunday 29th of the month. There is also the notice of the AGM, 6 December 09, when according to our constitution, which was really designed for a larger congregation, four Vestry members must retire. Never mind, we're still on the Patronage Committee and Events Group and do all the other duties! We do not have a Regional Representative. That's an interesting job, as one meets the representatives of other churches on the Southside; but it involves evening meetings; and we still rely on volunteers to keep our accounts. Canon T Montgomery has been asked to be our interim priest during the vacancy. "God bless us, every one!" Gina Editor img src='/uploads/777/14028.jpg' alt='cong' align=right border=0 hspace=3 vspace=3> This is our community... Please sign our guest book and leave us a message before you move on! We take great heart from messages from our visitors! Don't be shy! We can always delete the ones we don't like! If only life could be like that! St Oswald's weekly services continue in the sandstone Church, original Church dedicated 1931, time of services available on this website. The new townhouses beside and flats opposite are all full with our new neighbours. Welcome to King's Park and welcome to St Oswald's. The congregation has decided, for the time being, to suspend the plans to build a new hall. The sandstone Church will continue to be a multi-purpose facility, as a hall for congregational and community activities Monday - Saturday and a place of worship on Sundays. The Scottish Episcopal Church is a welcoming one, and despite popular myth, is NOT English, having its roots firmly in Scottish history. We are, however, a part of the Anglican Communion, and that is important to us. We are often jokingly known as the "half-way home" between the Catholic/Protestant divide in Scotland. We welcome everyone, and you will find our clergy more than willing to discuss baptism, marriage, or the renewal of marriage vows at a significant anniversary. In the sad event of a bereavement, they would be only too willing to help, and conduct a funeral if asked. In the Episcopal Church, we pride ourselves in being open-minded and inclusive. Please visit us again! ADD THIS PAGE TO YOUR LIST OF FAVOURITES!.. and remember our willingness to minister to your needs and care for the community, whether you are a member or not! Our web page is constantly updated. If you have a group looking for hall accommodation, we could also help. |
