Port St Mary Beach Mission 2007

One of the great traditions of the summer in the Isle of Man gets underway this afternoon (Sunday).

The Port St Mary Beach Mission has offered children of all ages a range of activities and the chance to learn about the bible since the start of the last century.

It will run every weekday for a fortnight, with participants in the 'Opening Extravaganza' meeting outside the Town Hall at 3.30pm.

The Beach Mission is organised by the Scripture Union.

Spokesman David Stewart (pictured) says the bible has a lot to say about how people should live their lives (audio file attached):

The 2007 Beach Mission proper starts tomorrow (Monday) morning. If you want to get involved you should go along to the Mallmore guest house, on the promenade, at 10am.
