SCRIP NEWS

SCRIP is a program offered at GCA that is simply the following:

You order gift cards for places you shop or eat from the list provided.  You get the value of what you purchase.  For example, if you do your weekly grocery shopping at Wal-Mart and spend $100, you will give GCA $100 and you will get a gift card to use in the amount of $100.  GCA will get to keep a rebate of 2%.  EAch retailer has a different rebate amount.

There are restaurants, retailers, airlines, hotels, gas stations, etc.  A list of participants may be obtained by going to www.glscrip.com and clicking 'Retailer List' or you may pick up a printed list in our office.  You can order each week, give us an order that you would like weekly, bi-monthly, monthly, etc. (standing order), or order as needed.  This works well with budgeting too.

SCRIP cards make great gifts as well.  If you have a birthday, anniversary, Christmas, etc. gift to buy, please use SCRIP as much as possible.  Also, people not at GCA can buy SCRIP cards.  Recruit your church members, family members, and friends to order.  Please remember this for businesses and families before they order gifts for their employees or family members at Christmas.

We keep a certain amount of most used cards on stock that you may purchase at the office.  Purchases can be paid for when making or picking up the order.  Payment can be made in cash or check.  The check should be made to GCA.

We will place orders on Tuesdays and they will be ready for pickup on Fridays.

If you have any questions or would like to place an order, please call the office
at 651-7729.
