Service Pattern at St Oswald's

From January 2020, because of diminishing attendance, the PCC have decided to hold services once a fortnight, rather than every week. Initially this will be for an experimental period of 6 months. Services will continue to be at 9.30am, but will be held only on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month. Weekly services will continue to be held in the other churches in the Cross Country Parishes group as usual. In accordance with Church law there will always be at least one Communion service somewhere in the Cross Country parishes each Sunday. Special Services such as Christmas and Easter will continue to be held in St Oswald's even if these fall on a Sunday when there would not otherwise be a service.

Worleston Church

Our church was rebuilt in 1997 after a major fire. Now as you can see it is a bright, light building providing up to date facilities for worship and social activities.
These two images were taken at the Queen's 60th Jubilee.

Would you like to be married here? It is possible and the nearby Rookery Hall or Reaseheath College could provide a venue for your reception.
There is also a new Village Hall which could host your reception
