5:00 pm Saturday Worship Community
Welcome to this first of our series of Modern Anglican liturgies, which we are using on the 3rd or 4th Saturdays of each month during 2015
Today's celebration is being used tomorrow morning by the Parish of St Oswald, which is the parish church of Oswestry, England ... thus our first in this series from the Church of England.
At St. Oswald's this weekend they will be observing the Presentation of Christ in the Temple, which is also the traditional date for the English Church's observance of Candlemas, which falls halfway between the winter solstice and the vernal equinox - a kind of looking ahead to Spring .
