Buy cards as gifts for friends and family or use them yourself on your next trip to the grocery store. In either case, you get gift cards that are worth exactly what you paid for them, and Woodland receives a donation from your purchase. If you buy anything from the many participating stores, do it with a gift card and help out the church at no additional cost to you. Reverend Gibbons has the lists of participating businesses available at the church. Turn your orders in with your payment to Reverend Gibbons on Sunday mornings. Our goal is to deliver your cards to you on the following Sunday morning. Thanks for your support of Woodland Church!
