Supporters Information
Thank you for your prayers and practical support.
Port St Mary Beach Mission was run for many years by the Matheson family. In the late 1980s Sheila/Andy Manual and Evelyn/David Stewart were asked to take over. After many years of serving Sheila and Andy decided that
2011 would be their last year on the team. However Evelyn was recovering
from breast cancer over the summer of 2012 and the SUMT staff,
Alex & Amanda Brown and Sam & Sarah Rotchell were all on the
team and picked up various additional responsibilities and "kept the show on the road".
We
continue with our core of long term team members both from "on-island"
and "off-island" joined by those who come for 1 or 2 years. As
well as Evelyn and David the current Core Team are Ali/Jon Taylor,
Rhona/Alistair McKinlay, Penni Crosthwaite and Beth McKenzie.
In 2020 the Coronavirus pandemic caused all SU Holidays and Missions to
be cancelled, so the team decided to move activities on-line with each
age group producing videos along with a video of the "Beach Service"
each day. Also all children/teans registered would be sent an
activity pack including a Gospel. In June the Isle of Man was
able to eradicate the virus and lift all social distancing
restrictions, however this was only done by closing its borders which
meant the "off-island" team would not be able to travel over, so the
orginal plan of Beach Mission being largerly on-line ill
continue. Ruth Walker is co-ordinating the Island side of this
arrangement.
We work in partnership with SUMT and we are very grateful for the support of the local Churches.
If you would like to serve on the Team or know someone who would then please contact us at: psm@25a.me.uk
