Sea Sunday is the day which we set aside to remember and pray for seafarers/sailors, and their families and give thanks for their lives and work. It is a day of remembrance, prayer and celebration, and an opportunity to think about and thank our mariners, those who live and work on our oceans, who work tirelessly throughout the year bringing us goods we often take for granted. Braving Pirates, isolation, long periods away from families and sometimes being stranded in ports with no pay, no food, and no support, if the ship owner’s finance crashes.

Traditionally in many churches an extra offering plate will be handed around to give to Seafarer’s and sailors missions.
