Saturday, 5 June 2021 - 30 minutes

The Port St Mary Beach Mission is a firm fixture on the Manx calendar - those two weeks of fun and faith-sharing, in August each year, began in 1901 - and the outreach has only ever been completely stopped by the two World Wars.
It attracts around 400 children and teenagers, and a team of adult volunteer leaders give up their own holiday time, to help with the mission. Even last year, when border restrictions meant that the UK leaders couldn't travel to the Island, the Beach Mission went ahead - on line - with videos, games, music, and resources to use at home.
But what makes the Beach Mission so special?
Three guests today, share some thoughts and experiences :-
- Rev'd Alex Brown, who for many years led Scripture Union on the Island and even now, in his role as Pioneer Minister, is happy to remain involved in the Beach Mission
- Sarah Buss, a PE teacher who remembers going to Beach Mission as a child, and still enjoys the experience of being involved
- Ruth Walker, who, as current leader of Scripture Union Ministries Trust on the Island, is right at the heartbeat of the Beach Mission each year.
And there's a great mix of music - a wonderful arrangement of a traditional hymn by the Huddersfield Choral Society, and worship choruses from Chris Tomlin, and Michael W. Smith
And there's a notice board for this coming week, too.
Information for the notice board can be sent to me via email - judithley@manxradio.com
This year, there's going to be a scaled-down Beach Mission - from 1st to 7th August - and Mallmore on the Promenade in Port St Mary will once again be the Beach Mission HQ.
All the details are on the website - www.psmbm.org.im
