North Aurora resident Reverend Derek Rogers, left, and wife, Breann, greet congregants Sunday after Pastor Rogers delivered his first sermon at the former Fourth Street United Methodist Church in Aurora. The church merged July 1 with Flowing Grace UMC in Aurora to form Flowing Forth UMC, which meets at both campuses until a new site is found. The united congregations will hold a combined service at 10 a.m. on the first Sunday of each month. On other Sundays, Rogers will serve at 9 a.m. at the former Fourth Street UMC site and at 11 a.m. at the former Flowing Grace UMC site at Aurora Christian School on Sullivan Road. Rogers, a Sandwich native, came to Flowing Forth from Wheatland Salem UMC in Oswego.  Al Benson/The Voice
