St Peter and St Oswald's

Welcome to St Peter's and St. Oswald's.

We are a welcoming parish church which seeks to serve our community by providing opportunities for worship and service to those in need.

Revd Anesia Cook left the parish at the end of August 2024 to take up the post of Racial Justice Officer in the Sheffield Diocese.  While we are in an interregnum, awaiting a new priest to join us we are encouraging our lay leadership to flourish.


Our service patten has changed slightly. 

On the first Sunday of the month we are joining our neighbours Carterknowle Methodist Church for their Communion service at 10.45am. 

We are holding our Holy Communion Services in church at 10.00am on the second, fourth and fifth weeks of the month.   We are now receiving both the bread and wine but if you are uncomfortable using the common chalice you are welcome to take the bread and then return to your seat, stewards are in place for guidance.

While on the third Sunday at 10.00am we are having Morning Prayer lead by our Lay Readers.

St. Peter's, Abbeydale is part of the Community of St. Peter and St. Oswald, the Parish Church for Abbeydale and Millhouses.

Scouts gives young people skills for life. We actively engage and support them in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society.

In partnership with adults, young people take part in fun indoor and outdoor activities. They learn by doing, by sharing in spiritual reflection and by taking responsibility. They make choices, try new and challenging activities, and live their Scout Promise. All of this is underpinned by our Scout values. The values of Scouting are integrity, respect, care, belief, and cooperation.

Scouts at St Oswald’s learn through doing, we go camping, hiking, swimming, abseiling, cycling and canoeing. But we also get to hang out with our friends every week – having fun, playing games, working in a team and taking on new challenges to learn life skills. St Oswald's Scout Group has around 85 young people who weekly engage with a wide range of life skills education activities both indoors and outdoors supported by around 40 adult volunteers some in full leadership roles and some in occasional helper and specialist roles to make the Scout Group function. Most meetings have a time for reflection where young people and adults reflect on how they live Scouting Values and their section’s Scout promise.
