• 'Prayerful witness' offered for immigrants (umnews.org) — Morristown United Methodist Church members are making a steady, hands-on impact far beyond town, traveling monthly to Newark's Delaney Hall immigration detention center to serve food and support detainees' families. Their pastor and lay leaders joined about 60 United Methodists from North Jersey for a recent 'Prayerful Witness' rally, blending prayer, peaceful protest, and practical help while calling for humane treatment and accountability.
