With just a few simple steps, you can grocery shop and support ministry at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church at the same time! Through your support of SPL you expand our reach for Decatur Kids Bags of Hope and the ways in which we can continue to impact and grow the ministries of St. Paul’s Early Learning Center (ELC) and Lutheran School Association (LSA).
Each time you shop at Kroger and scan your Kroger Plus Rewards card, 3% of your purchase can provide this additional support (some exceptions apply). (The Kroger Rewards program will not take away from your Kroger fuel points.)
Registering is simple – Go to Kroger.com to get started and follow these steps:

1. Go to Kroger.com – click Sign In if you have an existing account (or click register to create a new account).
2. Click on the “Community” tab/link
3. Select Kroger Community Rewards
4. To view your Rewards Details, scroll to the bottom of your Account Summary page to find the Community Rewards section.
5. Click EDIT.
6. Type in St. Paul’s Lutheran Church (Decatur, IL) – verify the correct location.
