Fundraising - Scrips & Holiday Shopping is like Peanut Butter & Chocolate!!
It's a busy time of year with the celebration of Jesus' birth and all our favorite family traditions. The good news is you can literally click from your computer or order from Fundraising all the special gifts for your family or you! From iTunes cards (or email!) to a Royal Caribbean cruise, there is so much you can do to meet your normal purchasing needs and raise critical funds for our Church. All it takes is some commitment on your part to at least check out the Scrip options. Please support the program as it literally is FREE MONEY for our Church. With the current budget deficit, our combined efforts will put a serious dent in it! Q: How Do I Know What's Happening?
You can start here for all our Fundraising News & Events, but you will also notice that it's in multiple locations throughout our website.

Raise the Roof! Buy a Bundle!!
Yes, the "official" announcement has not happened yet (hint: coming soon!) in Church...but, the "Raise the Roof, Buy a Bundle" program is well underway.
We are seeing support for this wonderful program already, thanks!
To recap, the roof cost approximately $30,000 and now it's up to us to "Pay ourselves back" by supporting this program.
Each bundle symbolically represents those used to shingle our roof and, based on the cost of the project, we estimate needing 150 Bundles valued at $200 each.
The goal is to replenish our Building Improvement Fund within 24 months (or sooner!), allowing us to address other pressing building & grounds improvements. Here is how it will work:
- Choose what Bundle Amount you wish to donate:
- Full Bundle = $200
- Half Bundle = $100
- Quarter Bundle = $50
- or Any amount that works for you!
- Make your check out to the Congregational Church of Burlington and please note your Pledge Envelope # (if applicable) and "Raise the Roof" on the memo line.
- Give a little now and a little later...or a lot! Whatever works for you as any amount helps us keep this Beacon on the Hill in tip-top shape!
That's pretty much all you need to do at any time in the upcoming days and months. We are working on visuals so we can see how we are doing! |
