Welcome to St. Oswalds Kings Park! Oh dear, another vacancy! With the departure of the Jute family and and flitting of the Majekdonumi family, we now have a Sunday School of one. Best wishes to both families in their new homes - and we hope they come to visit. The 08:30am Holy Communion of Sundays has had to be suspended - whioh is a great loss for that part of the congregation. At 10:30 Wednesdays, we join in Mattins, instead of Holy Communion, but we like Mattins, and we keep going. Now to look on the brighter side, Celebrants have been arranged for all Sundays up to the 10 January 2010 and the Dean will celbrate Christmas Eve at 8pm. The organist and choir will keep the music going and the Nine Lessons and Carols will be held on the Sunday before Christmas 20/12/09. The church will also be decorated and not used as a hall between 20 - 27 December 2009. The AGM is arranged for 6 December 2009 at 11:15am, THe church magazine carries a selection of thoughts on Advent, including St Nicholas of Myra. One almost certain fact is that in 1087 Italian merchants broke into his tomb to steal his relics, which they then enshrined in Bari. Incidentally, the X in Xmas is a Greek "Chi", the first letter of "Christ" and the usual abbreviation in Mediaeval manuscripts. We have X on our altar candles. Merry Xmas!

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. |
