Easy Ways to Support St. Paul’s

Pray!
The success of our church and school is not sustainable without constant communication with the Lord and Creator of us all. Continue to ask God to bless us and His plans for us as a community. Become of part of our Prayer Chain to pray for specific needs of our members and school families.

Volunteer!
Help LPTL set–up for an event in the gym, become a Sunday School teacher, help take tickets at a home basketball game, put a St. Paul's decal on your car window, sing in the choir, sort TRIP or Market Day orders, get on the Nursery schedule, do some data entry in the office, decorate a bulletin board, chaperone a Youth Group outing, make phone calls, the list keeps budding. Find out where to get "plugged-in."

Order Gift Cards
TRIP (Tuition Reimbursement Incentive Program)
TRIP's program is a system of buying gift cards at face value through St. Paul's for stores and restaurants that you normally frequent. Each store sells them to St. Paul's at a different percentage discount. 75% of the discount is applied to your own tuition balance (or the school's Education Fund if you choose), 5% is applied toward the administration of the TRIP program, and 20% goes back to St. Paul's. Ask anyone who's done it-- it really adds up– and it doesn't cost anything extra! Place a paid order in the School Office by Monday at 8:30am and the cards are available for pickup that Friday. Or create a personal account and order online! (use SP’s enrollment ID#: 42AB7D1B3255.) Orders are placed almost every week, excepting vacations. The full and current list of participating retailers is available on their website: www.glscrip.com. Visit our Download Center to download an order form.

Order Meals through Market Day
Need a quick meal? Order gourmet quality frozen and packaged foods from Market Day's monthly newsletter or online at www.marketday.com (designate St. Paul's Lutheran in Munster, ID# 4400 as your school), and your order will be ready at St. Paul's on pick-up day. St. Paul's receives a percentage of all sales!

Recycle
PAPER
Bring your paper recyclables (magazines, catalogs, junk mail, etc. but no cardboard) to the green and yellow dumpsters in the south parking lot. Monthly pick-ups mean serious pocket change to St. Paul's!

USED PRINTER CARTRIDGES
Bring in used up printer cartridges to the school office and St. Paul’s gets a refund on the refillables!

CAMBPELLS SOUP LABELS
Campbells is willing to pay us a lot of money to get their labels back. Save and trim the soup labels to JUST THE UPC SYMBOL (note: this is different from year's past), and turn them in to your student's classroom, or to the church Welcome Center.

BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION/ONLINE SHOPPING
Save the "Box Tops 4 Education" symbol from the tops of General Mills cereals, Betty Crocker, Ziploc bags, and Pillsbury products. They are collected in the School Office and sent in at the end of the year in exchange for a nice, fat check. Go to Box Tops 4 Education's website, designate St. Paul's Lutheran as your school, then click on their links to go shopping at online stores like Barnes & Noble and 1-800-FLOWERS. A percentage of your purchase will be credited to the school!
