FestivOs 2012
This year we celebrate two special anniversaries - the 75th anniversary of the dedication of St Oswald's as a combined church hall and place of worship, and the 50th anniversary of its consecration as a Parish Church after we had built a separate hall and a vicarage.
Our celebration year is entitled FestivOs 2012 and got off to a flying start on Sunday, January 31st, with a 10.00 a.m Eucharist service with the Bishop of Bedford, The Right Rev'd Richard Inwood. This was followed by a well-attended Bring and Share lunch in the hall.
A full programme of events and services throughout the year has been drawn up - the next event being "Up,Up, and Away!", a social evening with food, to hear more about ASCEND, the charity we are supporting this year. Tickets available from Michael Hart.
Details of this and other service & events appear in the Parish magazine, and on the FestivOs website - just click on the FestivOs logo at the top left hand corner of each page of this website, or follow the link below:
