Daylight Savings Time begins this Sunday- don’t forget to turn your clocks forward an
hour or you will be late for church!

Paul and Vicky Strella were the high bidders on the offer to pick a sermon title at last year's auction. The full title of the sermon is something like this: "How Do You Decide When You Are Doing Enough Good and How Do You Deal with the 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.) SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1

Forum: Keeping Agriculture Local. Montgomery County produces more than $120 million annually in commercial horticulture, including: landscape, nursery, greenhouse, turf and garden center industries, as well as commercial fruit and vegetable production. Chuck Schuster, Extension Service educator, and horticulturist, will talk about why it is important for us to maintain this growing industry.

Music Notes: This morning’s Call to Worship, “Bwana Awabariki” is a Swahili blessing song. At the end of each refrain the cantor will interject prayers for fairness, underscoring today’s sermon. During the Offertory the Adult Choir sings the classic ballad, “O Danny Boy,” also known as “Londonderry Air,” in anticipation of St. Patrick’s Day on March 17. The Choir will also sing portions of the Gloria from Giacomo Puccini’s “Messa de Gloria.” Puccini was a relatively young man when he completed his “Messa a quattro voci” in 1880, ironically, as his final graduation project from the Istituto Musicale Pacini. The lyric quality of the vocal lines, coupled with the dramatic dynamism of the orchestral accompaniment (ably performed at the piano by Thomas Guthrie) foreshadow the composer’s ultimate distinction as a renowned composer of operas.

Welcome, Visitors to Cedar Lane. We invite you to stop by our Visitors Center in the Lounge service to say hello, find out more about Cedar Lane and Unitarian Universalism, sign up for our mailing list, and/or pick up pamphlets about our faith.

This is a friendly invitation and reminder that we will be holding a Membership Signing Ceremony this Sunday (March 14). While one can sign the membership book at anytime time during the week, we usually set aside the second Sunday of the month as a time for our somewhat formalized process of joining Cedar Lane by signing the membership book during a small ceremony in the church library, with at least one minister present along with members from the Board of Trustees and the Member Services Committee on hand to help celebrate. We have rescheduled February's signing ceremony to this Sunday due to the recent weather-related interruptions to our regular Sunday worship.

So if you have been visiting for a while and feel ready to join with us in our unfolding quest, I invite you to join us in the library following each service for a signing ceremony.

If you have questions about the responsibilities of membership within Cedar Lane, I invite you to contact Andy Streich, our Membership Coordinator, at astreich@cedarlane.org or 301-493-8300, or Lisa Chernikoff, Member Services Committee Co-Chair, at lisa.chernikoff@verizon.net or 301-587-5992. Please contact the church directly at 301-493-8300 if you prefer to speak to one of our ministers.

First a reminder: I encourage you to come to our auction this Saturday, March 13 at 6:00 P.M.

Sometimes people ask me “What do you do during the week?” Thursday of this week I will be speaking to the Unitarian Universalists who live at Asbury Methodist village, something I have done several times over the years. I have also spoken at Collington Episcopal Life Care Community, Leisure World of Maryland, and Riderwood (the name reminds me of a place in Tolkien’s Middle-Earth). All of them have merit and I do not recommend one over the other. The number of such facilities in the area reflects both the financial stability of Federal pensions and the good weather we have in the Washington Area (most of the time). When I served as a minister in Evanston, Illinois I noted that many Unitarian Universalists moved to Florida or Arizona when they retired, due to Chicago’s cold winters.

I always wonder what to preach about when I am invited to come and speak. What sermon topics speak to people living in a retirement community? And are some more humanistic and others more theistic? A few years ago the same sermon on Thanksgiving that was a big hit at Leisure World seem to put people to sleep at Riderwood. These are the sorts of things ministers think about.

At Asbury next Thursday I will share my Feb. 15, 2009 sermon on “Lincoln’s Religion” because I love history and this sermon is my personal favorite from the past year. http://www.cedarlane.org/serm_09.html I am looking forward to it.

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.

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.

Passover Seder at Cedar Lane
Join fellow Cedar Laners on Sunday, April 11, at 5 p.m. for an evening of warmth, tradition, reflection, and even a little bit of humor. Cedar Lane has a long tradition of celebrating Passover with a Seder that is influenced by Unitarian Universalist principles, the tradition Passover story, family rituals, and community spirit (not to mention great food). The Passover Seder depends on the generous help of volunteers to ensure success. We need volunteers to: shop for special Passover and miscellaneous needs (a specific shopping list will be distributed); set up tables, food, etc. for the Seder; clean up to leave everything spotless after we are done; and other duties as needed. In addition, everyone will be asked to contribute a side dish (traditional recipes will be available at registration).

        Welcome Workshop What is Unitarian Universalism and how do I engage with the Cedar Lane community! This Saturday morning class and lunch is open to anyone interested in discovering what our community is about. March 20.

Sunday Morning Forum
        March 14: Keeping Agriculture Local. Montgomery County (MoCo) produces more than $120 million annually in commercial horticulture, including: landscape, nursery, greenhouse, turf and garden center industries, as well as commercial fruit and vegetable production. Chuck Schuster, Extension Service educator, and Horticulturist, will talk about why it is important for us to maintain this “growing industry.”
        March 21: Eliminating Povety for Women and Girls through Education. Crossway Community under the direction of Kathleen Guinan, CEO, works to provide a broader understanding of the direct correlation between investment in women and girls and the elimination of poverty through three Leaning Centers. The Centers are located on one campus in Kensington: the Family Leadership School, Crossway Montessori School, and the Lifelong Learning Center.
      March 28: Finding a New Way Forward in Afghanistan. General McChrystal’s counterinsurgency is unlikely to work because it cannot be executed on behalf of another government and the Muslim world does not want the United States to be its savior. Dr. Douglas MacGregor, retired army colonel, will elaborate on why he believes it would be best for us to withdraw from Afghanistan.

March 21, 2010
“The Growth of No Religious Affiliation”
The Rev. Roger Fritts
About every 10 years, a survey is taken asking people what their religion is. During the last 10 years, the fastest-growing category has been "No religious affiliation." The sermon will look at this phenomenon. (This is teacher recognition Sunday. Children five years and older should attend the first part of the service.)

March 21 Forum: Crossway Community: Providing Housing, Childcare, and Education for Single-Parent Families. Kathleen Guinan, CEO (with husband Ed November 2008 WETA Hometown Heroes) will discuss this initiative created in 1990 to provide low-income mothers with educational opportunities while at the same time providing child-care options. Crossway acts to combine the best aspects of homeless shelters, domestic violence shelters and transitional housing programs into an environment that fosters community learning. The public/private partnerships built by the Crossway Community is a model of how regional governments can support the creation of innovative and community-serving initiatives. Come hear Kathleen's latest success stories of this worthy organization, supported by our own Alliance.

In the Passover story, eternal themes of departure, wandering and arriving invite us to consider what it means to leave and discover home. This service will reflect on the shared experiences of wandering and arriving in life, on letting go of the familiar for something new and on the faith it requires to live in the desert for a time.

March 28 Forum: Finding a New Way Forward in Afghanistan. Afghanistan is a country, but it is not a nation as it is composed of four distinct national groups. Three are tied by ethnicity and/or religion to one of the country's neighbors and divided from the fourth by Hindu Kush; the fourth is a collection of loosely confederated tribes. Just as it did not work in Viet Nam or Algeria, General McChrystal's "new" counterinsurgency of "clear, hold, build" is unlikely to work because it cannot be executed on behalf of another government (particularly a weak, corrupt government) by a foreign army. Also, the Muslim world does not want the United States to be its savior; or to be "Westernized " through military occupation regardless of the material benefits American-led Westernization offers. Dr. Douglas Macgregor, retired army colonel, will elaborate on why he believes it would be best for us to withdraw from Afghanistan.

Welcome Workshop: entering the Cedar Lane community

What: a fun and interactive experience to introduce Unitarian Universalism, our ministers, the church, what we do, how we operate, and some of our church members & friends

For whom: especially for new members but also prospective members as well as anyone interested in learning more about UU & our church

By whom: Rev Roger Fritts, Rev Susan Archer, Rev Heather Janules, Andy Streich, & the Member Services Committee

Childcare: free child care will be provided if you request it by noon Tuesday, March 16.

What to expect: a short worship service followed by a few structured discussions led by Roger, Susan, Heather, and Andy. Our goal is to get to know you better and for you to get to know us and each other. We hope you'll leave having had a enjoyable time, a nice informal lunch, and with a little more awareness of our faith, this church, and how you can participate in the life of our spiritual community. We'd also like to learn what else we may do or do differently to enhance your experience at Cedar Lane.

RSVP: Please RSVP to Andy Streich by noon, Tuesday, March 16, 2010 to Andy Streich, membership coordinator, by email (astreich@cedarlane.org) or phone (301 493 8300 x301). We need to ensure a minimum number of participants.

If you are a new member we particularly encourage you to attend so your entry into the Cedar Lane community is as easy and rewarding as possible. As a large and active church, there is likely more going on than you might expect, and this is a simple way to, as Buddhists say, "enter the stream."

Support the 7^th Grade’s Social Justice Project- Sundays in the Lounge
Paper to Pearls is coming to the lounge! The 7G session 2 class will be selling spectacular jewelry made of recycled paper--come see for yourself! Paper to Pearls is a microfinance project that empowers displaced women beaders in Uganda to sustain themselves (www.papertopearls.org). In the case of this fundraiser, a full 50% of the proceeds go to the beaders and the other 50% will go to the two social justice projects selected by the class (relief for women in DR Congo and Heifer International). Sale dates will be after each service on March 14 and 21 and on April 11, 18, and 25.

On Sunday, March 14, 2010 at 3 p.m., in the sanctuary of Cedar Lane UU Church, The Bethesda Chamber Singers, a local a cappella group, will present a program of mostly 20^th century love songs. Admission to the hour-long program is free (freewill offering for the good works of Cedar Lane), with reception and refreshments afterward.

Donate Clothing!
Now that winter finally seems to be on its way out, please consider bringing in clothes for all seasons (any condition) that you and your family no longer need. This is a project of the Session II 7^th graders—we are working with Promicrofinance, a group that ships clothes to the Congo, where women (many of whom are trying to get out of violent or abusive situations) use them to begin their own businesses. The box is near the side door in the hallway leading to the chapel. We’ll be collecting until RE classes end on April 25. Thank you!

Join the grounds committee after their meeting on Saturday, March 27 to help clean up after our damaging winter. General clean-up, mulching paths, cutting up downed limbs are other jobs. Those with a special interest in invasive removal will have plenty to choose from.

We’ll wrap up our meeting at 10AM, get right to work. If you arrive a bit early, look for us in Rm 30-31. Otherwise we’ll be out on the grounds.

Everyone is welcome. Bagels, muffins, and beverages will be provided. Hope to see you then!
