BRIGHTON After 140 years, the Women’s Fellowship at St. John’s United Church of Christ in Brighton is disbanding.
Begun in 1880, the group now has only four members, with three in their 80s or 90s. But their legacy of fundraising will continue through the church’s Loyal Daughters organization.
The church, originally named St. John’s Evangelical Church in Brighton, was founded 150 years ago. The Women’s Fellowship originally called the Ladies Aid Society was established 140 years ago, in May 1880, with 41 members.
