More than 40 gathered for the Lenten Luncheon held at Morton UMC last Wednesday and were inspired by a beautiful presentation by Rev. Sheila Cumbest, an Associate Minister at Christ UMC, Jackson, good food and fellowship.
Kathy Warren, Betsy Comfort, Mel and Frisky Roland were among some Morton residents who attended the Production “Mary Poppins, Jr.” at Newton Little Theater. Kathy’s granddaughter, Madyson Warren, exhibited exceptional talent in the role of Bert The Chimney Sweep along with a cast of other very talented actors, vocalists and dancers. The evening was enhanced by dining out with several members of Madyson’s family and friends following the play. She is the daughter of Brent and Tracey Warren and is a senior at Newton County High School in Decatur.
