Bethany Church Scrip Program

SCRIP TIPS FOR SEPTEMBER!

We did it! As of September 9th Bethany has made over $2,700 in profit from the program.  We are over half way to our goal of $5,000 in Scrip profit before this year ends.  Many stores offer bonus discounts throughout the year.  Michael’s Craft store has been added as a new Scrip store.  For a current list of bonus offers and announcements, check the Scrip station at Grand Central.

If you haven’t heard, $25 Speedway gas Scrip cards are available on Sundays.

There are just over three months left until Christmas. The Scrip program gives you a great opportunity to budget and spread your spending over the Fall months. Put Scrips to use at Christmas a couple of ways. 1. Buy a Scrip card and give that as the gift.  2.  If you know where you want to shop for your loved one, buy a Scrip card for that store. Go to the store, pick the present and pay using the Scrip card
.
Gift card “wrappers” are available to purchase on the order form as a set of 16, or you can purchase a single wrapper from the Scrip team.  Another great Scrip organizational item is the cascading envelope. It is an expandable file envelope with 10 compartments to hold all of the gift card type Scrips.

Ordering is easy!  Submit an order with payment via cash or check payable to Bethany on Sunday, and your order will be available for pick up the following Sunday.  Early pick up can be arranged.

If you have an order or have any questions about the program, please talk to Joyce Hice, Amy Nelson or Julie Patterson.

Shell is 2.5% til 10/12
 L.L. Bean is 17% til 9/21

Are you planning a summer vacation trip? Think SCRIP as you make those plans. Order SCRIP for meals out on the road,.  Many restaurants are available that have multiple locations along most travel destinations – Burger King, Wendy’s and Pizza Hut to name a few. And remember to check out the SCRIP WEBSITE (www.glscrip.com) for numerous stores, retailers, hotels or motels that are available, but not listed on the standard Bethany SCRIP order form. Order today and you’ll have your SCRIP next week. 

 Thanks for supporting Bethany!
