Angle RNLI to host Sea Sunday service
Angle RNLI will be holding its annual service for Sea Sunday on July 30, when seafarers across the world will be remembered.
The international day is a special opportunity to remember and say prayers for the 1.5 million brave men and women who go to work at sea in every corner of the globe, often in dangerous and lonely conditions.
Sea Sunday is the global celebration of the enduring and vital work of the Mission to Seafarers, which supports and cares for seafarers around the world.
Angle RNLI’s service, at the lifeboat station, will be conducted by Deputy Launch Authority, the Rev Mike Brotherton, retired Royal Navy Chaplain.
The service, which will be followed by refreshments, will start at 3pm and all are welcome.
The following week, on Saturday, August 5, Angle RNLI will be welcoming visitors to its open day, with an opportunity to meet crew members, tour the £1.2m boathouse and see the all weather and inshore lifeboats.
On view will be the £2.6m all weather state-of-the art Tamar class lifeboat Mark Mason and the £41,000 D class inshore lifeboat SuperG II.
The open day runs from 12noon to 4pm and the all weather lifeboat will be launching at 6pm. It promises to be an action-packed occasion, as the open day coincides with Angle Regatta.
