St Oswald's Church - responding to the pandemic
We are now holding some services in church. These are quite low-key as we can't
do many of the usual things like singing! However, many of our other groups aren't meeting just yet.
Our next services are:
Face coverings should be worn by all those attending a place of worship;
remembering that they are mainly intended to protect other people, not the wearer, from Covid-19 and that they are not a replacement for physical distancing and regular hand washing.
If you don’t feel ready to join us yet, please do continue to follow us
on our Facebook page.
Our church building is open for private prayer on Mondays and Thursdays from
10.00am to 3.00pm. Please use the hand sanitisers on the way in, remember social
distancing and do not go into church if you or a member of your household has
any of the symptoms of Covid-19.
We are producing a news sheet. If you would like to receive it direct by email
please contact Simon Birkbeck.
You can also contact either of the Churchwardens, David
Tucker and Simon Birkbeck, or our Children
and Young People's Development Worker Pauline

Treasure Seekers Holiday Club 2020
Our holiday club was virtual this year and we weren't able to share it with the congregation in a Sunday service in church. We hope you enjoy this selection of clips from the week.
For those who struggle without faith or who are searching for meaning in life, or those who are really struggling with faith, there is a new website that may provide fresh hope www.HOPEforAll.org.uk. This aims to help those who find it difficult to believe to explore the Christian faith. We hope it will be a place to which you can point your friends and family when they want to try praying, reading the Bible for themselves or exploring some of life's big questions.
Welcome to our website
St Oswald's is a beautiful and historic Church of England Parish Church in the village of Sowerby, just outside Thirsk. It is attended by people of all ages who live in the village and surrounding area, and by many visitors
to this scenic part of North Yorkshire. St Oswald's has a thriving ministry to children and young people, a variety of music styles, opportunities for learning about the Christian faith in small groups or simply being quiet
and reflective together.
We enjoy close links with our sister churches - St Mary's at Bagby, St Mary's at Kilburn, St Cuthbert's at Sessay and All Saints at Thirkleby - as well as Sowerby Methodist Church and the Thirsk Parishes. We are also members
of the local Churches Together Group. This website tells you a lot more about the ministry of St Oswald's Church.
If there is any further information you would like, please do not hesitate to contact either of the Churchwardens, David Tucker and Simon Birkbeck.
