Announcements for the week of April 20, 2025
Girls of Grace Gift Card Fundraiser
Cindy will be placing an order this week. Please complete the form and submit with your payment to get in on this month’s orders.
The Girls of Grace have started an ongoing fundraiser. Purchase gift cards to stores and restaurants you usually frequent through the church. The church gets a percentage of the amount you spend, and it doesn’t cost you anything more than the face value of the gift card. For example, if you purchase a $50 gift card to Walmart, you pay $50 to Broad Street UMC and get your gift card in two weeks. BSUMC gets $2.00. The list of businesses from which we’re offering cards is below, and there is an order form in the back of the sanctuary or you can download one here. This is a great way to support the church shopping and eating out where you normally shop or eat out with no additional expense on your part.
