St. Paul's Anglican Church in Point Edward celebrates its close relationship with ships, shipping and the railroad Sunday, March 1.
The annual Mariners Service is being held at 10 a.m.
Captain George Haynes is the guest speaker this year.
Haynes has over 30 years of experience in the shipping industry, working harbour tug boats, Great Lakes freighters and passenger vessels.
St. Paul's Church was a gift in 1868 from the manager of the Grand Trunk Railway.
From 1868 until 1902 the church stood at the corner of Livingston and Victoria Avenue in Point Edward, where its tall thin steeple would reflect the light from the Fort Gratiot lighthouse in Pt. Huron and assist in guiding ships from Lake Huron into the St. Clair River.
The inter-faith service is held each year before the beginning of the navigation season on the Great Lakes.
