Now you can donate used printer cartridges and MORE! There are a variety of ways for you to support Bethel Lutheran Church ministries.

Use your weekly offering envelopes.
Offering envelopes are an easy means of giving and an excellent way to practice stewardship. Using envelopes allows directed giving to both general and special offerings throughout the year. A statement of contributions is prepared for all members at the end of the year. Please be sure to use the weekly envelopes that were issued to you. If you are a member and do not have your envelopes, contact the church office.

Sign up for Simply Giving®.
Simply Giving® is an automated giving program designed to help you conveniently and consistently contribute to a Lutheran congregation or institution. Through Simply Giving®, your gifts are made through a pre-authorized withdrawal from your bank account. You determine the frequency of your automatic gift—weekly, semi-monthly or monthly—the option is yours.

Recycle your empty printer cartridges and cell phones.
Each cartridge thrown away at your home or workplace could be extra dollars for our program! Did you know that every second nine ink cartridges are thrown away each and everyday? Help us turn this waste into cash! Please donate your cell phones and cartridges by placing them in the designated box in the narthex. Your contribution helps save the earth’s natural resources. We strongly recommend erasing any personal information that may be stored in the cell phones before donating them.

Do some shopping at Kroger.
We now have rechargeable Kroger gift cards for sale. These gift cards have an initial balance of $5.00. Then you decide when and how much to recharge your card at Kroger. The barcode on your card lets Kroger know to designate 5% of your purchase to Bethel. Some rules and restrictions apply. Look for the table in the narthex on Sunday morning.

...or, for Meijer Shoppers

Bethel is now enrolled in the Meijer Community Rewards program.  To link purchases to Bethel's account, members will need to register their Meijer 1 Card or Meijer Credit Card by calling 1-800-962-7011 and giving our six-digit code.  Bethel's code is 718836.  If you don't have a Meijer 1 Card or Meijer Credit Card, you can sign up online at www.Meijer.com/rewards or see Tracey for a paper application.  Cash or debit purchases made with a Meijer 1 Card earn 0.5% and Meijer Credit Card purchases earn 1%.  (Purchases made by check or credit card do not qualify.)
