The youth at Sam’s home church, Hamilton Road Baptist, recently collected chocolate bars for Easter gift packs destined for seafarers at Belfast Port. These treats offered a sweet touch of luxury to accompany the Good News message of the season.

Our Belfast volunteer, Peter Moore visited his first merchant ship on March 27th. He was able to visit 4 ships with Sam in Belfast, helping to distribute Easter gifts. You can see Peter in a photo after a visit to the crew on the Arklow Resolve. He also met Brian Frances, the Stella Maris Chaplain during the visits.

In the following video, Sam thanks 'Ham Bap Youth' and shares what all went into the Easter gift packs...

'We are so encouraged by the thoughtfulness of the church youth groups, children’s ministries, and school SUs partnering with SCFS! Their donations of essentials and treats provide a vital boost to the seafarers who bring necessary supplies to our shores. A huge thank you to everyone involved for their heartwarming generosity and commitment to supporting those who keep our shores supplied.'
