Walnut Grove has renewed its partnership with MCEF: Mechanicsville Churches Emergency Functions, a local cooperative program involving twenty-four sister churches working together to help meet the needs in our community. Our Missions Committee and Deacon Benevolence Team are coordinating with MCEF to provide monetary and material support to the MCEF closets and pantries, and in turn, to receive assistance and guidance when responding to requests for assistance from the Benevolence Team. Representatives of member churches meet monthly at Trinity Christian Church. For more information, please contact Mae Antkievicz or the church office and check out the missions bulletin board near the BYKOTA Sunday School class on the main hall of the education building. A list of churches housing closets and pantries is on the right – consider donating to MCEF the next time you clean house!
