There are three ways to donate gift card/s:
  • drop off your card/s at Giving Tree table in the ministry hall  
  • drop your card/s in the church office during office hours
  • mail your card/s to Joy Lutheran Church PO Box 9185 Gurnee, IL 60030
Joy!'s Giving Tree has decided to continue to donate gift cards only because it empowers Z Center clients to be able to pick out gifts for their  families. Cards from Target, Walmart, Meijer, Kohls, Amazon and Visa are all great choices any amount $25 and up. There is no need to wrap your card but please write the dollar amount on the card. If you have any questions please contact Mary Reiling at maryreiling3@gmail.com or call or text after 4:00 PM 847-987-2371.

We will enjoy soup, salad & bread together while Pastor Mark and Jenelle Roush lead us through a discussion that takes the sermon series "A Thrill of Hope" one step deeper as they use the lyrics from the Christmas song, “O Holy Night”, to explore how on the holy night of Christmas God changed everything with the hope of Jesus.
