Missions

Our Liberia mission connects to Methodist churches and schools in the Liberia Annual Conference.  It is directed toward two different areas: schooling and health.  We work with the Saclapea schools to fund the school building, teacher’s salaries, and supplies.  Through the Gumpta District of the Liberia Conference we work to provide scholarships for a nurse/midwife program.  If you would like to help support these vital missions, check out our online giving and make a note to “Liberia”.

On the first Saturday of each month, our church volunteers at Community Harvest Food Pantry, which serves Tazewell County residents in need. To volunteer or get more information, visit communityharvestmorton.com 

Morton Methodist Church partners with other churches in the area to provide food and other necessities for the people in the Ridge. To get involved, or get more information, contact info@mortonmethodist.org

Skeins of Love is a ministry of love and prayer expressed through the giving and receiving of shawls. Since we began this ministry in 2005, our mission has been to effectively share God’s love with others through the simple art of knitting and crocheting shawls, afghans, baby blankets and pocket crosses. Around our gathered circle, each item is blessed and passed through our praying hands before it is given away.

Skeins of Love meets on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month from 9:30 – 11:00 a.m. at the church. Over the years many who knit and crochet have participated in this ministry and we welcome you to join us!
If you are interested in becoming a part of Skeins of Love, you may contact Jan Sampson at jsampson143@gmail.com
