St. Paul's Anglican Church will celebrate the region's rich shipping history on Sunday.
The annual Mariners' Service is being held at 10 a.m. at the Point Edward church., at 210 Michigan Ave.
Warden Sheila McBeth said Ania Madej, a boating safety officer with Transport Canada, will talk about marine safety and security.
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 Street 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 to mark the beginning of the navigation season on the Great Lakes.
