A Season of
Justice: Acts of Memory and Hope
Rev. Heather Janules
In January, Cedar Lane’s Social Justice Council invited our congregation to
commit to volunteering in the wider
community, sharing our values with the world beyond our doors. This service
will celebrate the Campaign for Justice by
lifting up two projects – Community Cupcakes and rebuilding homes in New
Orleans with Rebuilding Together – and
reflecting on the spiritual lessons these “acts of memory and hope” offer.
We will also share our offering with Equality
Maryland, working for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender rights in our
home state, as part of our regular “50/50 Split”
outreach.
Forum:
How Can Muslims
and Unitarians Talk to each Other?
Our speaker is Zeyneb Salim, a graduate student of Religious Pluralism in
the Department of Theology at Georgetown
University. She also holds graduate degrees in Christian-Muslim Relations
from Hartford Seminary and in Oriental
Studies and Law from the Johannes Gutenberg University in Germany. Ms Salim
will share with us her deep interest in
interfaith dialogue and building bridges among religious groups. Her basic
introduction to the Muslim faith will include
the Islamic understanding of God, the core ideas of the faith, its tenets
and practices, and the role of the Qur'an as
scripture in the Muslim community. Following this introduction, she will
welcome all
kinds of questions.
Music Notes:
This morning’s
musical offerings stem from a variety of current composers. As a prelude
the
Intergenerational Handbell Choir rings a slow, pensive rendition of the hymn
tune Be Still, My Soul, written by Iowa
composer Cathy Moklebust, that features both handbells and handchimes. As
Call to Worship Gruppo Piccolo sings
Breaths, by the local composer, Ysaye M. Barnwell, with text from the
late Senegalese poet and teller of African folktales,
Birago Diop. All Flesh is Grass, a poem by the 19th
century poet Christina Rosetti, is one of the first published
compositions of Chris Massa, a 2003 graduate of West Chester University now
living in Pittsburgh. Hold Me, Rock Me is a
blending of lyrics from several spirituals by the popular Canadian composer
from Vancouver, BC, Brian Tate.

flowers in the Chapel.
From the Ministers
Roger Fritts
Each year we ask for money to support the church. Fundraisers say we would
likely get more money, if I called of some
key donors in the congregation and invited them to give more. However, I am
shy about asking people individually for
money. Still, I hope that you will be generous.
Fundraising experts also say that we are likely to get more money, if people
in the congregation who are generous will
openly tell the rest of the congregation how much they give. Most of you are
very shy about this. For some reason, it has
never bothered me to tell people my pledge. This year it is $6,900 a year,
or $575 a month, or $132.69 a week. I would like
it to be more, but I have two kids in college. I hope my example inspires
you to be generous.
If you are in financial difficulty, please give what you can, and remember
that we do not care most about your money we
care most about you.
Speaking of money, I hope to see most of you at the church auction. It is an
important fundraiser. Also, it is an
important social event and a set up for other spring social events. For
example, I think the Finance Committee has bought
into my idea of a Kentucky Derby Day Party that you can buy a ticket for at
the auction.
Sometime I wish we did not need to ask for money. Then I remember that in
churches that have big endowments and do
not need to raise funds, the activity level in the congregation is lower,
the members more passive. Vital, active
congregations are vital and active because people give money and people give
money because we are vital and active.
So please be generous when you fill out your pledge card. In addition,
please buy a ticket and come to the Auction the
evening of March 13.
Thank you.
Roger
We Care
The We Care
program is a network led by volunteers who reach out to address short-term
needs – food deliveries, rides to doctor’s appointments, a listening ear in
the event of a loss. The
Cedar
Lane congregation is organized geographically by “neighborhoods”; each
neighborhood has at least one chairperson to coordinate support. Look at
your nametag or the map in the church office to find your neighborhood.
Our hearts go out to Tracy Gipson (Neighborhood 11) and her family as
they mourn the death of her adult son,
Ian, whose
two-year struggle with cancer ended on February 23. Services will be in
Ohio, the first week of March.
Congratulations are with Grace Chace (N8), who just welcomed her
ninth great-grandchild. Kristin Emily Chace
was born on
February 17. Hooray!
Healing wishes are with Perry Seiffert (N2) who is recovering at home
after hip surgery.
Correction: The email address for Mabel Miller (N27) who has just
moved to North Carolina is
mabelrmiller@gmail.com. (Note the R between “Mabel” and “Miller”.)
Should you know of a member of our community in personal need, you are
encouraged to reach out to them. If you learn that
this person wishes to receive a response from the church, please contact
Heather Janules at x204 or
hjanules@cedarlane.org. All
ministers offer pastoral care to our members so you are also encouraged to
contact any member of the ministerial team.
Music Notes from the Director of Music
What’s in a “Prelude?”
Musical preludes
are intended to prepare us for worship through a few moments of
undisturbed reflection prior to the beginning of the service. The music is
chosen to compliment the theme of the morning
and our musicians work diligently to prepare their selections. So that all
may enjoy the music, please create an
environment of quiet reflection, without speaking, once the music begins.
Thank you.
Feb. 28 -
Gruppo Piccolo and our Intergenerational Handbell Choir will lead the
musical worship as Rev. Heather Janules
reflects on the recent service of CLUUC members in New Orleans. The IG
Handbell Choir will ring the familiar theme
from Jean Sibelius’ tone poem “Finlandia,” (which we will also sing during
the morning reflection). The Call to Worship
will be Chris Massa’s contemporary setting of text by the poet Christina
Rosetti, All Flesh is Grass. During the Offertory
the ensemble will sing Breaths, a song written by local composer,
Ysaye Barnwell, of the popular group, Sweet Honey and
the Rock. Our Anthem, Hold Me, Rock Me, was composed in 2004, by
Vancouver based composer Brian Tate. The song,
in four part harmony, combines the texts of several popular spirituals in a
captivating melody that rocks gently while
assuring us that we do have a place, on the other side.
March 7 -
Midway in the season of Lent we feature the cello music of J.S. Bach and the
sacred vocal music of Pablo
Casals. Cellist Loren Westbrook-Fritts performs the meditative sounds of
J.S. Bach’s suites for solo cello during the early
portion of our services. As the Call to Worship he will offer the
Prelude from “Suite No. 1.” During the Offertory he will
perform Bourees No. 1 and 2 from “Suite No. 3.” The Adult Choir will
sing Casals’ moving O Vos Omnes (O Ye People)
which he composed in 1942, while in exile from his native Spain, for the
monks of the Benedictine Monastery of Santa
Maria de Montserrat in the Carribean Sea.
March 14 -
During this service we celebrate the coming of St. Patrick’s Day and sing
the music of Puccini! The Adult
Choir leads our musical worship, singing Antonio Lotti’s motet Miserere
Mei (Grant Us Thy Mercy) as the Call to Worship.
The Choir will sing O Danny Boy in four part harmony during the
Offertory. The morning’s anthem will be a portion of
Gloria from Giacomo Puccini’s grand “Messa di Gloria.
Ad Hoc Choir will meet on Sunday, March 7
at 12:30 in the Chapel. Bring your voices and your good cheer. See
you there!
Education for all Ages
Religious Education Notes
RE Classes Extended One Week
As you know, RE has lost four Sundays this year due to snow. In response to
to teacher’s questions, last Sunday we
surveyed all the teachers to see if they would prefer to have RE extended
one week, ending on April 25 instead of April 18.
Almost everyone indicated that they would like to have the extra week. So .
. . we have decided to do just that. The
adjustment necessitates a few other changes as well. Here are the details:
Last RE
Sunday: April 25, 2010
•
Spring B is now
for four Sundays this year: May 2, 9, 16, 23
•
The Senior High
Service has been moved from April 25 to May 2.
•
You will be
notified about specific class changes, if any, as needed.
Teacher
Appreciation Donations
We are still collecting from parents for our Teacher Appreciation Dinner, which
is Friday, February 26. If you haven’t already, please return your contribution
to the RE office as soon as possible. This helps support the cost of the
dinner, and allows us to celebrate our teachers, assistants and other RE leaders
in the most joyous way we can! If you have a 6th grader, please let us know if
they can help as a server at the dinner by returning the form you received in
the mail. Thank you for helping to make this dinner a memorable one through
your support.

“From Ash Wednesday to Easter”
The Rev. Roger Fritts
Unitarian
roots are Puritan and the Puritans believed that “giving up something for Lent”
was a foolish practice not explicitly commanded in the Bible. They believed Lent
detracted from the importance of leading a moral and upright life all year
round. But, have we really outgrown the need for of repentance, prayer,
self-denial, and abstinence?

Feeling That You Are a Chump When Other People Appear to be Cheating, Getting
Rich, Cutting in Line, and Getting Away with it? (Every time I schedule this
sermon it snows. We’ll see what happens this time.)

Participate in
the Cedar Lane Auction Even if You Cannot Attend!
Are you hankering
for that irresistible week at the beach or tantalizing gourmet dinner offered by
your favorite Cedar Lane chefs but know you cannot make it on March 13? Try our
absentee bidder system, new this year for live-auction items.
Just write or e-mail
Sara Deshler (9601 Cedar Lane, Bethesda 20814 or sdeshler@cedarlane.org) stating
your name, address, phone number, the number and title of your desired item(s),
and the maximum amount you are willing to pay for each. Make sure your message
gets to the church by March 10 to ensure adequate time for processing. A
surrogate will be assigned to bid on your behalf. Similar to how ebaY works, the
surrogate will bid the minimum amount necessary at each increment to make you
the high bidder, continuing until either you gain the item or some other bidder
overtakes your maximum. You will be notified if you're a winner.
Review the auction
catalog, which will be posted at www.cedarlane.org by March 5 (with updates as
needed), or pick up a hard copy at the church. You can also obtain a more
detailed description of the absentee bidding procedure at either site. Direct
questions to Brian Belanger, at 301-258-0708 or radiobelanger@comcast.net.
