The Kellogg company gives 5¢ per UPC code that they send to NAD's Mission Investment project. It's easy money folks and for a great cause! You can drop your UPC codes off in the church office.

 

There is a new Sabbath Morning Group that meets each week at 9:30 for the purpose of praying for our church, its leaders and members. Everyone is welcome to participate. This group meets in administrative wing, extra office.

 

Magazine Fundraiser - Worthington Adventist Academy has kicked off their first fundraiser of the year.  The students are selling magazine subscriptions.  The school receives approximately 40% of the subscription price.  Just think how much money we could raise for our school if every family renewed just one subscription!  If you would like to support the school by purchasing a magazine or renewing a current subscription, please call the school office at 614-885-9525.  You can also go online at QSP.com to review the list of magazines offered or purchase online.  The school code is 425027959.  Thank you for your support.

 

Got Box Tops?  Do you collect Box Tops?  Worthington Adventist Academy does!  This is an easy way to earn money for our school.  Just clip the Box Top and drop them in the collection box  located in the church office.
