Thank You, Jewel Shoppers

Thank you for making the effort to bring your stickers to the church office so that UMW/Sarah circle could buy pots and pans. You may have only had a few to share, but all of them combined, a little over 920, bought a lot of pots and pans. We were able to buy for eleven cents- 5 stock pots and 6 frying pans. The Peoples Resource Center will be delighted to receive our donation.

Thanks again, on behalf of UMW/Sarah circle.

UMW LogoThe mission of the United Methodist Women is to know God and experience freedom as whole persons through Jesus Christ; to develop a creative, supportive fellowship; and to expand concepts of mission through participation in the global ministries of the church.

Purchase with a Purpose

Purchase with a PurposePurchase With A Purpose is our year round program where we make gift cards, redeemable at many local stores and restaurants, available for purchase in the Parlor on any Sunday morning. They may be used by the purchaser or given as gifts. For every gift card sold, a percentage is earned by the United Methodist Women to fund their ongoing mission.

Take time to stop by the Purchase with a Purpose Table on Sunday mornings and check out the cash and carry items. We have changed the ordering schedule to placing an order only twice a month. The most popular gift cards will continue to be available every week throughout the year, but your order may take a little longer to come in so plan ahead. Arrangements can always be made to pick up your gift certificates in the church office.

We have Caribou Coffee, Dominick's, Home Depot, Jewel, Kohl’s, Meijer, Panera Bread, Speedway Gas, Starbuck's, Ultra Foods, Walgreens, and Downers Grove Downtown Dollars ready to pick up at the table every Sunday!

Don’t forget that you can pay your Kohl’s charge card bill with gift cards in $25 (available every week) and $100 denominations. When you receive your bill, order the cards you need on Sunday so that you’ll be in time to pay your bill.

The order form is regularly updated with new vendors and restaurants that have opened in the area. If you don't see the gift card that you want visit http://www.mannagroup.net, click on vendor list and if you find something you'd like to order write it on the front of the order form.
