A warm welcome to the website of St. Oswald’s, the Town Centre Church of Oswestry, which has been a place of worship for almost 1000 years. Worship is supported by choral music of high quality and by thoughtful preaching, prayer and action. St. Oswald’s works closely in friendship with other local churches and organisations in the wider community as we seek to share God’s love for all.

A huge thank you to Sam for a wonderful first term's music! If anyone's wondering what it was the choir sang at the end of Sunday morning's service, it was "Stars" by Eriks Esenvalds, accompanied by tuned wine glasses. It wasn't on the pew slip because we sang it on Saturday night's service and we were asked to sing it again on Sunday.

NEW YEAR NEW VOICE. JOIN THE CHOIR. See poster, right, and read more HERE
