St. Oswald’s Church

St. Oswald’s was built in 1890 as a mission church sponsored by St. Chad’s to provide the people living in that part of the parish with a place of worship nearer to their homes. A Men’s Club was built nearby in 1902 to give the local men somewhere to pass their leisure time.

In time, the church was enlarged and the old organ from St. Chad’s installed in about 1910, St. Chad’s now having the magnificent Harrison and Harrison organ still in use today.

The final service before the closure of St. Oswald’s took place on the 28th July 2002 at 6.30pm when the Bishop of Ripon and Leeds preached.

This was truly a sad-happy occasion but it was also a positive one. The people of St. Chad’s are delighted to welcome the members of St. Oswald’s to regular worship at their church and embrace the strengths and contribution they will bring to the life of St.Chad’s. It was wonderful to see so many people at the service, especially some of the former vicars and curates of the Parish. Many old friendships and acquaintances were renewed.

                  Thought for the week

In the game of draughts pieces advance slowly towards the other side of the board, but are often ‘Taken’ before they can succeed and are removed from the game. If they do make it, their reward is to be made a king; they can then return to help others.

In the ‘game’ of life Jesus can become our King; though he lost his earthly life, his love and forgiveness were undefeated in the struggle against hatred and evil.

                 From today’s sermon
