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.

The Lower Peover Covid-19 Support Group is collecting unwanted or surplus laptops to donate to Lower Peover Primary School so that children can access their online learning during the current lockdown period. Can you help? If you have a laptop that you no longer need, would you be willing to donate it to the school? If so, please contact Alison Painter on 07946 389051 or email info@lowerpeoversupport.co.uk Laptops must have a microphone and webcam. Before allocating a laptop to any of the pupils, Lower Peover Primary School will reset it to its original state, thereby deleting any files or data that may be stored.
