SHOP WITH SCRIP: Did you know that First Church offers a great program that helps make the church ministry money? You can purchase a gift card from Michelle Nelson for a ton of local places that you frequent for the face value, but the church receives a percentage back from the company. You can’t beat that. See Michelle today.
