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.

We celebrate with Karl and Debbie Scott Goodwin (Neighborhood 25) Debbie writes, "On Saturday, July 16^th, our son, Marc Andrew Goodwin, will be married to Antonia Pham Young in San Francisco at Golden Gate Park." Congratulations to all...

Good news about Rita Pittillo (N9): After a long recovery from a hip replacement in a rehab center, Rita is due to return home on Tuesday, July 19^th. Hooray!

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 hjanules@cedarlane.org All ministers offer pastoral care to our members so you are also encouraged to contact any member of the ministerial team.

UUSJ 2011 Social Justice Awards

Congratulations and kudos to Cedar Lane! Two working groups within the Cedar Lane Social Justice Council (SJC) were granted social justice awards by Unitarian Universalists for Social Justice (UUSJ), which is the regional social justice group of the Baltimore, Washington, Northern Virginia area.  The two awards involved are the Collaboration Award (for effective social action reflecting UU values that has involved cooperation with another UU congregation, other faith based groups, or non-religious organizations) and the GLBTQ Award (for work and witness for the civil rights and social acceptance of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning persons). Further information about these two awards and their Cedar Lane recipients will be shared via the next printed version of the Cedar Lane News.
