We’re inviting everyone to come Back To Elk River Lutheran this fall as we kick off a new program year here at the church. Whether you came to worship every Sunday all summer or haven’t been here in years, we hope you’ll come back this fall. If it has been a while, don’t worry, you’re in good company, because even Pastor Nathan hasn’t been here in three months! What a great time to reconnect with this joyful, accepting community as we serve God and our neighbors.
