Welcome to St. Oswald's Church!
Bidston, Merseyside
Come join us on Sunday, 24 May, after our morning service as we wrap up the 2025 Church year with our APCM. We will be discussing this last year, saying a huge thank you to those members in our PCC who are stepping down from roles, vote on new members who will take up the flags of these roles, and welcome more people onto our PCC.
You are more than welcome to come listen, celebrate, and prepare for the new year ahead with us.

St. Oswald’s church will be reflecting on those we have loved and lost during the All Souls Service on Sunday, 2 November at 6pm. If you have lost a person dear to you and wish to commemorate their memory, please feel free to come and join us as we celebrate in their lives collectively through quiet reflection, song, and a contemplative reading of their names. We will have the opportunity to light a candle to remember them, and give thanks for their lives.
If you would like to add your loved one’s name to our list to be read out, please contact Rev. Smith. Alternatively, you are welcome to add the name yourself on the night of the event.
