Prayers for the Sick of the Parish
Every Sunday we remember those of the congregation who are unable to be
with us due to illness or infirmity. We also remember those who have gone
before us and their anniversary falls during that week.
St Oswald’s has a Prayer Group who meet during the day and a further
group who meet on Thursday evenings. It would be wonderful if you could
remember the community, the congregation present & past in your prayers.

Let us pray for the sick and suffering:
He healeth those that are broken in heart
And giveth medicine to heal their sick
Almighty and immortal God, giver of life and health: We beseech thee to
hear our prayers for thy servants, for whom we implore thy mercy, that by
thy blessing upon them and upon those who minister to them of thy healing
gifts, they may be restored, if it be thy gracious will, to soundness of health,
and give thanks to thee in thy holy Church; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Gift of Trees for Glasgow Church From paper called “Scan” May 1967
The Glasgow Tree Lovers’ Society has recently gifted £35 worth of trees and
shrubs for the landscaping of the grounds in front of the new church of St
Oswald’s Kings Park Glasgow.
The trees will be three groups of silver birches and the shrubs – mostly
cuprus-sus – will be used to line the main paths to the church. Work is
already in hand to have the rest of the area from the church to the road
grassed for lawns.
NB: In the September magazine, you saw those very silver birch trees
bedecked in pink ribbons for “step all over cancer” fundraiser promoted by
Christina and Lesley-ann.
