Due to the escalating impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, the PCCs of both St Oswald’s and St Lawrence’s have sadly agreed that face-to-face communal worship is temporarily paused. St Oswald’s Church will remain open for private silent prayer on Wednesday mornings and Sunday mornings from 10.00am to 12 noon and Fr Murray or Ann will be present at those times.
