Help HCUMC While Doing Your Weekly Shopping

Holy Covenant United Methodist Church each year pays apportionments to the North Texas Conference as our portion of Global Ministries, District Superintendent’s salary, Church Camps, Pensions, Conference Administration, and other mission and administrative costs.  Our apportionments amount for 2008 is $67,443.00.  Each year we hold an auction to help pay these apportionments.  The auction pays for a large portion of this, and the church pays the balance from the regular budget offerings.  There is an additional way to help us pay the apportionments and it won’t cost anything.  It is so easy.  I am asking for your assistance in helping our church, with this relatively simple process. 

Tom Thumb:  If you do not already have a “Reward” card, please fill out the attached application and turn it in at the Tom Thumb Courtesy Booth. There are extra blank forms in the narthex.  If you already have a Reward card,  to add our church please fill out the Good Neighbor Program form and return it to the Tom Thumb Courtesy Booth. Our charity code number is #1407.  I know some of you already have schools or other organizations that you are helping with on these cards.  There are spaces on the application for you can choose up to three organizations that you want to support.  Please sign up and thank you!!

Kroger: Many of you have the Kroger Share card for our church.  As of May, this programs has been discontinued.   Kroger has a new program called:  “Kroger Neighbor to Neighbor Donation Program” .  Attached is the letter that explains the new program and the bar code number for Holy Covenant.  You simply hand the letter to the cashier upon check out along with your Kroger Plus Card and you are enrolled for the calendar year of May 2008 to April 2009.      

Choose to do one…or both stores it’s that simple!!
