It is time for the Christ Church August RaiseRight Order!

Last year ShopWithScrip rebranded itself as RaiseRight - the same name as the app that some of you have been using. Their new website is

https://www.raiseright.com/shop.

Paul Ambos, will be placing a new card order on the morning of Monday, August 7. Please place your orders accordingly. If you plan to mail him an order with a check, mail it by Thursday, August 3. Please advise him by email when you mail it of what your order is so he can place it on time despite possible Post Office delays. If you place your own order directly on the RaiseRight website or app, he will be able to see it there when he orders the monthly batch.

Don’t want to write a check? No problem! Use the RaiseRight payment options through your checking account or credit card (checking costs a 29 cent charge per order; credit cards charge a percentage that is usually more). If you want physical cards delivered directly to your home, you can arrange delivery through the app. There is a charge for delivery. If you order for delivery through Paul, the church covers the delivery charge.

Thank you for your support of this parish program.
