Start time: 14:30 Lancing’s annual service of Blessing the Boats and open-air concert St Michael and All Angels Church have been organising the service for over thirty years. Originally an event that celebrated the historic Lancing fishing community, the service now recognises the different leisure pursuits which involve the sea and the Lancing community. The origin of the Blessing of Boats goes back to biblical days when many of the first followers of Jesus Christ were fishermen by trade. The boats will be blessed during the service, which will consist of hymns, prayers and a scripture reading. Each boat will then be sprinkled with Holy Water and a short prayer said for the safety of its users. The afternoon’s service will conclude with a concert by the Lancing Brass after which Cream teas will be served in St Michael’s Church Hall, South Street, Lancing. If the weather is wet or windy then the service will be held in St Michael and All Angels Church.
