As part of our continued outreach program, FELC makes a charitable contribution to a worthy endeavor on a monthly basis. One of these twelve organizations receives a $200 check each month from the second offering. January’s second offering will benefit the Brian Morden Foundation.

The Brian Morden Foundation was created to honor Brian, a courageous 19-year-old member of First Lutheran Church, who battled Ewing’s Sarcoma for more than two years. He lost the battle on February 15, 2003, but his family, friends, and many others who only knew Brian by reputation have vowed to continue the fight against this horrible disease.
The foundation has three goals: Fund Ewing’s Sarcoma and childhood cancer research, support patients, family, and staff of pediatric oncology units, and provide funding for “Brian Morden Memorial” higher education scholarships. http://www.brianmordenfoundation.org
