| A shopping tip that will make you FLIP!
Come on down and buy some SCRIP!
Since Christmas can be seen from here, Buy for those both far and near.
Grandma in Houston might like a blouse,
While Cousin Terry wants a pet mouse. There's something for all friends and kin,
With many choices you're bound to win.
Over 300 vendors from which to pick,
So buy your son a hockey stick.
CALVARY EARNS a percentage of sales on all that you buy! Scrip cards are easy to mail and they can be used anywhere in the USA where there is a store.
****News Flash--We have 1 $250 Walmart Card available
for purchase in the church office.****** HOW IT WORKS:
- Check vendor list of at least 300 stores and restaurants at Cindy's desk in the school office 5 days a week or at the kiosk in the courtyard on Sunday mornings.
- Select from the list of necessary things like groceries and gas, department stores (Kohl's, Macy's, Penney's) and fun things such as toys, movie tickets, restaurants, fast food, Cabela's or Disneyland. We have many $10 cards which make wonderful gifts (Starbucks, Jamba Juice, Papa Murphy's, Taco Bell).
- Pick up an order sheet from Cindy or download one; fill it out and turn it in.
- Please order TWO (2) weeks in advance. We always have Scrip available but are now ordering every 2 weeks.
