Dear Friends
Our church doors are open daily from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. for private prayer as well as for services.
Each week, the Ashbourne Team Ministry upload a pre-recorded service, together with daily prayer, every morning and evening. You can find the links to these videos on this website, together with many resources to help you draw near to God in this unusual time. Please also connect with us on Facebook, where we share encouraging verses from Scripture, prayers to help guide your intercessions, latest news from St Oswald's and seasonal updates about our events.
For those who are unable to access online resources, we are offering a ‘prayer and worship pack’ that includes a prayer booklet from Lent through Holy Week to Easter, and prayer cards. If you know of anyone who would like to receive this, please contact Nicola at the Parish Office and she will post out a pack to you.
We are glad to say that our pastoral and practical support teams are now up and running. If you are in need of support or any essential shopping and medical supplies, please do not hesitate to contact the Parish Office and someone will make contact with you.
Many thanks to all those who are working together in new ways to share God’s light and hope. We are inspired by your hopefulness, good humour, and prayerfulness. May we continue to turn to God in prayer, even when we don’t have the words, trusting that we are never beyond the reach of God’s love.
For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8.38-39)
With love and prayers
Paul and Anne
