NEW SCRIP PROGRAM

The scrip program works like cash!  Do you not know what to buy someone?  How about a gift card.  Are you going on vacation and paying for airline tickets or a hotel?  There are many possible uses.  Orders will be placed once a month.  Please see Chris Giczkowski for information and order forms.  It costs you nothing more than you would spend anyway and the church gets a percentage of the amount spent.  See the insert in this week’s bulletin.
