The Church continues to be alive and active, but our buildings must close. We are seeing a huge increase in the number of people falling sick with COVID-19. We must distance ourselves from one another and prevent the spread of infection in order to save lives. Our churches are closed for public worship but from Monday 22nd June St Oswald’s Church will be open for private prayer only at the following times

Mondays 10am -12noon and Thursdays 12noon -2.00p.m

Should you be attending church at those times please observe social distancing and hygiene guidance.

While our buildings are closed we can continue to observe times of prayer through printed and digital resources. You will find suggestions on The Church of England website and on our resources page.
