Annandale churches to merge
http://www.fairfaxtimes.com/article/20120316/NEWS/703169898/people-places-fairfax-student-competes-on-jeopardy&template=fairfaxTimes
Two Annandale churches — Annandale United Methodist Church on Columbia Pike and Immanuel United Methodist Church on Heritage Drive —will become one congregation July 1.
Leaders from both congregations have worked for nearly a year to bring this merger to fruition. The merger proposal was approved separately at conferences conducted by each church’s congregation in February, under the leadership of Alexandria District Superintendent the Rev. Kenneth Jackson.
The Revs. Clarence Brown, Eduardo Carrillo and Cynthia Johnson-Oliver will lead worship services and provide pastoral care for the newly merged congregation.
For information about upcoming changes, call the Annandale church office at 703-256-8330, or email AUMC Council Chair Richard Robinson at rsrobins53@hotmail.com.

This is a typical story; traditional churches have been having a hard time for decades. Eventually they can't keep the lights on.
Maybe with this merger they will be able to afford to paint the steeple; it's looked sad for a long time.

IMO a tragic, but not unexpected result of 19th century protestant liberalism.
