On this - Mothering Sunday - the programme looks at women - at loving relationships, and how they shape our lives.
For Margaret Tooth, Mothers Day has a double significance, and Reverend Jo Dudley, vicar of Christ Church in Laxey, speaks movingly of a truly life-changing relationship.
We also delve into the archives to hear from women who visited the Island some 15 years ago, and in so doing, made a bit of Methodist Church history at St John's.
Remarkably, the organisation they represented then is still going strong - working in 71 countries and involving over three and a half million women, and the purpose of their visit was to honour the work of one local woman - Mrs Elizabeth Kissack. It's the World Federation of Methodist and Uniting Church Women, and their message is still as relevant and challenging today, as it was 15 years ago. (Their website is www.wfmucw.org)
And there's music too - and if YOU would like to choose a favourite hymn or piece of sacred music, for inclusion in a future programme, do please let me know.
