Hey boys! We're in. Thank so much, Jon. I like the handle.
A word about "-gregations": Con-, se-, and ag- do of course all come from one root.
So also: gregarious (as we'd assumed) and category and allegory, and . . . agora (you get the prize, Jon!)
Their common ancestor is an Indo-European root "ger-, meaning "to gather" and apparently arising from a word for "herd" or "flock"
So, while it's not clear that new gregations (maybe that's a word worth a coin) need new pastors, they will surely move in new pastures.

Steve,
I love the wordplay, and your new word -- gregations.
Where pastors become astors and bloom with a sweetness wasted on the desert air.
Like birds on the same wire, these gatherings in flocks of a feather.
Move over, Church Mouse, for the Church Bird.
Herd it on the grapevine.
I feel better now. No more puns come to mind.
