The two Methodist churches on High Street in Chestertown officially will become one worshipping congregation on July 1, when Christ United Methodist at 401 High St. and First United Methodist at 360 High St. will be known as Christ First United Methodist Church, reports the Evening Enterprise. The two congregations have been worshipping together recently under Pastor Herb Cain, who in the summer of 2022 was appointed pastor of both churches. Cain will be leaving at the end of June, to be succeeded by Pastor Amy Yarnall.
