New Year, New Rector:
New Year
2007 brought a new beginning for St Oswald’s. We are
delighted to welcome our new Rector, Revd Ian Meredith, and
his wife, Marilyn, to our worshipping community.
Revd Meredith was
instituted as Rector of the South Ayrshire Team Episcopal
Churches on Saturday 6th January. The service
took place at Holy Trinity, Ayr, and was attended by members
from St Oswald’s and St John’s, Girvan, as well as many of
the clergy from other churches in this area and
representatives from South Ayrshire Council.
In his first letter to
our Parish magazine Revd Meredith says, “I think the first
thing should be a note of thanksgiving and appreciation for
the warmth and generosity of your welcome to Marilyn and me
since my appointment.” He is looking forward to getting to
know the three congregations and also the communities in
which they are placed.

 CHURCH
HISTORY
( Left: Rev. Dr. E Jauncey, minister 1952-1965. Contributed by his
daughter Celia Dancer.). It was in 1847 that the Revd. W S Wilson, Rector of Trinity Chapel, Ayr
(now Holy Trinity Church, Ayr) founded a mission of the Scottish
Episcopal Church in Maybole. Thirty-six years later the same Revd. W S
Wilson (by now Bishop of Glasgow and Galloway) consecrated the then
newly built church in Cargill Road, on 18th December 1883.
The church is seated for 90 people, there being on average around 100
names on the roll at any one time. The hall was built in 1973 and
provides a congenial venue for the many ecumenical meetings in Maybole.
St Oswald's is now linked with Holy Trinity, Ayr and St John's, Girvan,
and is served by a team ministry led by the Team Rector who is based at
Holy Trinity, Ayr.
