For anyone who accesses the internet with a mobile phone, smart phone or tablet, Elim’s website should now be even easier to navigate with that device! To browse the largely text-based version, simply visit elim-robbinsdale.org as you normally would, and the site should detect that you are on the go with your phone. If you have a QR code scanning application, just scan the code at left and check it out. A link on the mobile site will allow you to return to the traditional view if that’s your preference. Let us know what you think!
