BROWNWOOD - The congregation of St. John's Episcopal Church in Brownwood is singing praises since the new priest-in-charge accepted the top position at the church.
The Rev. Nelson Koscheski will hold his first service at St. John's today, Ash Wednesday. Koscheski sees meaning in the timing.
''I look at Lent as a time of positive preparation,'' he said. ''Lent is not a time to give up but rather to praise.''
''They wanted a pastor and a spiritual director, and I am intensely interested in those things in both study and practice,'' Koscheski said. ''Plus, who can complain about living 22 miles from the center of Texas - whatever God is doing, it has to start right here.''
