We are so incredibly grateful to share some incredible news: St. Oswald’s Church has received funding from the National Lottery Awards for All to completely upgrade our much-needed (and rather faulty!) sound system.
This support means we can continue serving the local community with clear, high-quality sound, ensuring that everything we provide is the very best it can be. The upgrade will make a real difference to Sunday services, weddings, funerals, baptisms, school concerts, and venue hire alike.
Work to start very soon but we would like to extend such grateful thanks to the National Lottery for this incredible opportunity!
Beginning Thursday, 23 October at 7:30pm, we will be launching a brand new introduction to Christianity called the START Course. Running for 6 weeks, this will be a great way to explore the basics of the Christian faith and ask any questions you might have about it.
If you’re interested in attending, please get in touch with Rev. Joe — we’d love to have you come along. See you there!

An incredibly exciting journey is just around the corner for St. Oswald’s and its community. Beginning on the 19th October, we will be beginning an whole church discipleship adventure to help us get a better idea of not only who Jesus was, but how we can embody his teachings in everyday life today.
Please come and join us as we learn, listen, and share this brilliant series. We cannot wait to see you there!

There’s an exciting afternoon around the corner! The PTA at Bidston Village Primary are holding a Colour Run next Sunday, 13 July at 12:30, right after the morning service!
With proceeds going to the work here at Church, please come and get involved in a really great community event. It’s £2.50 to enter yourself, or sponsor Rev. Joe, Claire, or Arthur and lob some powdered paint at them! We can’t wait to see you there!
On Monday, 10 June at 7:30pm, there is the Archdeacon’s Visitation service at
St. Michael and All Angels Church in Macclesfield. This event is to swear in our wardens and sides-persons to their duties in the church. If you fill one of these roles, it’s really important that you attend this event. Anyone is welcome to come along and support our brilliant team!
Please be aware that it would be wise to familiarise yourself with parking arrangements for this service. Cheshire East council will soon be implementing evening and weekend charges and this can impact available spaces around the church. We have been informed that a parking attendant will be available outside of the church for those who need some direction.
We look forward to seeing you there!

We are so excited to present a Church Away Day! Taking place on Saturday, 22 March — put it in your diaries now! — we will be travelling down to St. Paul’s Church in Hooton to ‘interrupt’ our life at St. Oswald’s.
We will share some time as a community in God’s presence, pray together to hear God’s voice for the future and ministry of our church, and have a chance to explore how our vision at St. Oswald’s aligns with God’s heart.
Come and join us in time together, walking around the beautiful Church space, and even spending time outside as we take time outside of our parish to notice how God is working.
Everyone is encouraged to be a part of this really important community day. Sign up at the back of Church and please get in contact for more information.
Welcome to St. Oswald's Church!
