CHILDREN'S MINISTRY
Greetings Sunday School Families,
What a crazy year to try and create something new! We, as a staff, want to ensure that we provide the best possible programming for you and your family throughout the fall. With COVID numbers on the rise, and with the reality that children are unable to be vaccinated we know that keeping your kids safe must be part of our highest priority. We also realize that you as parents want a safe place for your kids to connect to faith and life within the church.
You may notice that at the 10:30 am service we have opted to provide snacks, crafts, games, and activities geared towards the theme of worship or events in the life of the church. We will have a weekly activity page in our worship bulletin and opportunities to participate during or after worship throughout the month. As our volunteer base continues to grow, our aim would be to provide games, a small lesson or science project, and a chance to talk about what we learned in worship.
Keep your eyes on the bulletin for more opportunities coming in the next few months!
Our hope is that you find a place that meets your needs this year, and continues to help you grow in faith, and as a family. If you are interested in helping us create this program or find new opportunities to think creatively about the 2022 year, please contact Intern Jeremy. We look forward to serving alongside your family this year!
Respectfully, Jeremy Hallquist
Intern Pastor

2021 Christmas Program
CONFIRMATION & HIGH SCHOOL
Greetings Confirmands, High Schoolers, and Parents!
We are thrilled to kickoff our 2021/22 school year with a bang. Wednesday evening has typically been a stalwart of the Youth Ministry program at Elk River Lutheran and our hope is that we continue that tradition.
We will begin each Wednesday night with a large group lesson and then break off into small groups for games, food, conversation, and much more.
We look forward to seeing you at youth group this year!
