Annual Lifeboat Service

St Hildeburgh's Parish Church Hoylake

At 11.00am on Sunday, 17 September 2017, the annual Lifeboat Service was held at St Hildeburgh's Parish Church, Hoylake in Wirral.

This service is an opportunity for the whole community to give thanks for the hard work and dedication of Hoylake and West Kirby's Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) lifeboats' crew, support staff and volunteers. 

The service was well attended and we were delighted to have the Mayor of Wirral - Councillor Ann McLachlan - with us in the congregation.

The service was led by Rev Paul Rossiter, Vicar of Hoylake and chaplain to our local lifeboats. The preacher was Rev Karl Williams.

The service was followed by a hog roast for all the lifeboat crew, support staff and volunteers in the garden of Hoylake Vicarage (next to St Hildeburgh's Church on Stanley Road), accompanied by live music.

Thanks go to the Vicar (Rev Paul) and Rev Gillian Rossiter (Vicar of St John the Baptist, Meols), for their generous hospitality at the Vicarage.
