The Oakshaw Trinity Website is one year old today!

It certainly doesn't seem like a year, but since 3rd August last year we have been keeping the congregation and the wider public up to date with the news, views and events of Oakshaw Trinity.

In the last year there has been a lot happening.  We have served up 21,000 pages from the website to over 2,500 unique visitors from as far afield as New Zealand and Alaska.  

Why not have a look at some of these highlights the website covered:

Why not have a look through the Special Events section to see what's been going on.  If you need to track down an old issue of Oakshaw Oracle, why not try the Archive section?

A big thank you to all those who have helped keep the website up to date and interesting, especially Catriona at the Church office for sending me Oakshaw Oracle every week!  

27th July 2008

Next Sunday:  Early Bird Service at 9.30am and Morning Worship at 11.00am.
