St Oswald's, Durham

We are a Church of England parish with a strong tradition of music in worship, where all are very welcome. As an ancient Church in the centre of Durham, St. Oswald's is a reservoir of peace for all who enter it.

The Sunday service of Holy Communion is at 11am, and we have a play and books corner by the font for any younger worshipper who feels a parent or carer would enjoy it there. Evensong is at 6pm on Sundays, either in the chancel, or roughly every other week during term-time when the usual hymns expand to a full choral setting, in the body of the church. Mid-week Holy Communion is at 10am on Wednesdays, and the church is usually open 9:30–5-ish (or till dusk, if earlier) on weekdays.

The latest editions of the weekly newssheet and music notes are in the 'News' tab, and please ask if you'd like to join the mailing list.  Here are links to bellringing and choir and concert info.  We have a strong connection with St. Oswald's Primary and Nursery School, and with our neighbouring parishes of St Mary's Shincliffe, St. Mary's Coxhoe, and St. Helen's, Kelloe

Almighty and everlasting God,
increase in us your gift of faith
that, forsaking what lies behind
and reaching out to that which is before,
we may run the way of your commandments
and win the crown of everlasting joy;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
