St. Mark's "Ways and Means Committee" met this week and heard about FundScrip from Rev. Evelyn Knorr of Strait Chedabucto Anglican Churches. FundScrip is a gift card fundraising program that the local Anglican Churches are using. It’s a great way to raise money from the purchases we are already making – eliminating the need to ask you to increase your donations, make another casserole or sell anything. The program does not ask anyone to change what they buy, where they buy it, or how much they spend. We just pay with gift cards ordered through the church, instead of cash, debit or credit. It’s that easy. So...we would like to give this a try. But we need one or two people who will commit to compile and place the orders two Sundays a month. Rev. Evelyn assures us that it is a simple process--and takes little time to administer. Interested in volunteering for the church, just a couple hours a month, with the potential for great benefit to the church budget? Be in touch with the church office 625-2229 and we'll get FundScrip rolling!
