First, New Westminster, B.C.

Rev. Tim Bruneau and the rest of First have been meticulously planning the church’s March 11 anniversary. After all, it’s a big landmark: 2012 is the 150th year of Presbyterian worship in New Westminster. The makeup of the worshippers has changed, with a large percentage of First’s congregants being immigrants and other newcomers, but the passion remains the same. Here’s to another 150 years—and more.
