The Foundation is a nonprofit corporation governed by a Board of Trustees who are members of Central. The Foundation’s purpose is to receive gifts, to hold the principal of such gifts in perpetuity and to give the income growth of these gifts to Central.
Through the gifts of many, the Central Lutheran Foundation provides vital financial support to the ministry of Central Lutheran Church. Established with an initial bequest in 1952 of one thousand dollars in a member’s will, the Foundation continues to provide energy and financial resources to Central Lutheran Church as it lives out its mission to celebrate, discover, and share the love of Christ in the city and the world beyond.

Medical Issues: 10 Warning Signs of Dementia
Presented by the Alzheimer’s Association of Minnesota
Tuesday, November 10, 2:00 p.m. via Zoom
Alzheimer’s Association Office: 952-830-0512
Dementia affects the loved ones of many families. The Alzheimer’s Association is offering a session to Central Lutheran members on how to identify signs of memory, thinking and behavior problems in your loved ones. Alzheimer’s and other dementia cause memory, thinking, and behavior problems that interfere with daily living. This session will help us to recognize common signs of the disease; how to approach someone about memory concerns; the importance of early detection and benefits of a diagnosis; possible tests and assessments for the diagnostic process, and Alzheimer’s Association resources.
