The much-loved Peel Beach Mission is 60 years old this year. In conversation with Anglican Priest Rev'd Paul Lewis - a key member of the present team - we reflect on this summer outreach which aims to offer something to everyone of any age, and we celebrate the life of charismatic Michael Clarkson who led the mission from its start, until 2021. Sadly Michael passed away in September last year but his wife Pam continues to be part of the team.
The Cathedral will close its doors this weekend - and is not expected to re-open until next Easter at the earliest - the Dean, the Very Rev'd Nigel Godfrey explains why - and in the Cathedral grounds, lay reader Rosemary Clarke tells Ben Hartley all about Stride and Ride - a treasure hunt involving 69 churches around the Island. Download the map at https://rideandstride.online/ then use any means of transport you wish, to visit the churches, spot the symbols, and have a chance to win a £100 Steam Packet travel voucher. Entry forms costing £5 each are available from participating churches, and from The Welcome Centre in Douglas.
There's music too - and our usual notice board news.
