Welcome to St. Oswalds Kings Park! Dear Friends, May begins with the glory and the mystery of Ascension Day. The Apostles saw their Lord ascending into heaven "before their very eyes". "In this way our Lord shows all of us that He is Lord of all, and the very fulfilment of all creation. From that moment every human beings and every living creature should bow at His name and in faith proclaim His greatness". (Bernard of Clairvaux) By the Ascension it is as if Jesus went through the door between time and eternity in a new and significant way. Now, our faith is not dependent on Easter sightings of our Lord. Now we too can encounter the immediacy of Christ's love as our Lord and King takes up rule over all. Now, with the disciples, we too can be filled with a profound sense of wonder and certainty that this Lord Jesus demands our commitment, devotion and worship. We have many splendid Ascension-tide hymns but probably one of the best known is Isaac Watts, Jesus shall reign where'er the sun does his successive journeys run His kingdom stretch from shore to shore till moons shall wax and wane no more. Let every creature rise and bring peculiar honours to our King Angels descend with songs again And earth repeat the loud Amen. Love,grace and peace to you all. Revd.

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. |
