It’s Back to School and college time!
So- -Check Out our list of retailers that can help with back to school shopping: Kohl’s, Lands End, Staples, Macy’s, American Eagle, Sears, K-Mart, Borders and Walmart to name just a few!A profit of $400, for the first 6 months of 2009, was turned over to Olivet. A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who is ordering and using SCRIP gift cards The sale of SCRIP gift cards helps Olivet’s budget deficit.
Think About It! College students might even need a car or truck rental at Avis or Budget. And moms and dads could have need to stay in hotels and or bed and break-fast facilities when getting students settled.
And Think About It! Buy gift cards for the movies NOT FOR THE KIDS, but for the parents who need a rest after a long, long summer.
Stop by the Scrip table after church! There are many more gift card opportunities.

Orders are due the 2nd Sunday of September and October. Remember: Holidays are looming……. and that each and every Scrip gift card purchased benefits Olivet.
