Church

St. John's Methodist Church was honored with the 2013 Aiken Historic Medallion by the Aiken Downtown Development Association on Thursday night. Out of the almost 200 submissions, St. John's was the overwhelming winner, said Avery Spears-Mahoney, the new executive director of the ADDA. Of the 136 winning votes, Donna Seymour, Lennie Sanford and Tom Brown were drawn to receive the newest addition to the collection.
