Manna is a program that sells prepaid gift cards or certificates that may be used for gifts or for everyday purchases. Many of your favorite stores and restaurants participate. We purchase in bulk at a discount.75% of this discount is passed on to the purchaser in the form of tuition credit. Earnings may also be applied to other funds at St. John's. The more you use the program, the more you can save on tuition.
How do I get manna?
Manna is available all year long! It's simple.
First, fill out a registration form (yes, I need a new one every year!)
Then, complete an order form; enclose it in an envelope with your check made out to St. John's Manna Program. Because we must pay for our order in advance, payment must be included with your order. Please note there is a fee charged for returned checks.
Turn in your order to the school office or manna file at church by 11:45 a.m.on Sunday morning. (Yes, you may turn it in before that). Late orders will be filled the following week.
Pick up your order from the school office on Thursday morning or when you attend worship services. During the school year, you may opt to have your order sent home with your student. You MUST check the box on the registration form for this to happen.

Most common funds include the Care Fund, Tuition Grant Fund, Mission Fund, Church Workers Grant Fund, New School Building Fund, General Church Treasury, and LYF.Ask about other possibilities.
