First United Presbyterian Church turns 135
The church had 27 members.
Now, it s 135 with 90 members.
Church member Audrey Law said it s wonderful to see the church reach such a milestone. It just shows the continuity I think with our congregation and it shows that we are industrious so to speak, in keeping ourselves going, she said.
The congregation is small, but it doesn t seem to have made any difference in the larger picture of now and when they had a greater number of members, Law said. We still seem to have all the same activities pretty much, I think, and we just seem to do a pretty good job of staying alive, she said.

With the shift back to pandemic lockdown, Newfoundland and Labrador s Community Food Helpline is experiencing a surge in calls from people in need of emergency food aid but face barriers to getting it.
Alison Bennett, who staffs the line, says the past couple of weeks there have been a lot of first-time callers, many of whom are calling because of issues specific to the lockdown.
