Sunday will mark the first meeting of a new congregation in Brownwood, but not a new church. The Church of the Good Shepherd and St John\u2019s Anglican Church will unite as a single congregation at the St John\u2019s location on Main Street.<\/p>\n
The move has been discussed several times by both parishes, and now seemed only right, according to Good Shepherd representative Bonnie Dillard. \u201cWe contacted St John\u2019s to try to work out merging, because we are two smaller churches, and we would have always liked to have been bigger.\u201d Dillard also said \u201cWe are ready to have more people to work with, and more money to do things with in our community.\u201d<\/p>\n
St John\u2019s Senior Warden Jimmy Henry said the move was \u201cnot only something that was needed, but desired and people are excited about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
