The gentle sounds of a harp drifted on the breeze as 33 people and 3 dogs gathered on July the 11th at the French cross in Morden NS to celebrate Sea Sunday, giving thanks for the 186 years of ministry by The Mission to Seafarers. People came from various parts of the Valley to join in this Regional Worship Service of Song, reflection, scripture and prayer. The gentle breeze from the Bay of Fundy cooled us as we remembered the 1.5 million men and women who face danger every day to keep our global economy afloat, often on seas much more turbulent than the water before us. The sun shone as we gave thanks for the 250 Mission centres around the world which give support, comfort to and advocate for seafarers. A huge thanks to Twila Robar-DeCoste, our harp musician, who managed beautiful music despite the wind’s attempt to take over orchestration of sound. In all, it was a lovely afternoon of worship and fellowship that also resulted in raising some money for the work of the Seafarers’ Mission in Halifax.
