"
Mother's Day and Flower Communion: An Intergenerational Celebration"

Mother's Day is a special day to commemorate all the women who have nurtured us in our lives.  The children will share what they have learned about the history of this holiday as we celebrate it.  We will also combine our Mother's Day celebration with the UU Flower Communion - an appropriate pairing with one of Mother Earth's most beautiful gifts to us - flowers!  Please bring at least one flower per person to add to our community vases. 

Religious Education for children and youth, as well as nursery will be available.


Sunday, May 19  @ 10:30am
Guest Minister - Rev. Mark Hoelter
   "Crazy Wisdom"

So, you’d like to bring people together in workable harmony, and they’re ready to go at each other with anything they’ve got. And you want to help the marginalized. And you’ve talked and talked and talked with no results, maybe even with the opposite of what you’ve sought. I think you’ll be intrigued, then, by this different approach. Call it crazy wisdom.

Rev. Hoelter has served five Unitarian Universalist congregations throughout the US and Canada. He is chaplain to divinity students at Wesley Seminary in DC and has a spiritual counseling practice. His ministry in the DC area helps people transform their lives and live fully. Rev. Mark’s delightful and inspiring services always raise our spirits.  

Religious Education for children and youth, as well as nursery will be available.


June Services

Sunday, June 9  @ 10:30am   "Blessed"
Guest Minister Rev. Heather Janules

People often say they "count their blessings" when they are feeling especially fortunate and grateful.  But some even speak of being "blessed" in times of struggle and suffering.  How can we find blessing in the midst of the pain of human life?  An early morning poem and a conversation with a neighbor invite us into reflection.

The Rev. Heather Janules serves Cedar Lane as the Associate Minister and Minister for Pastoral Care. Called in 2005, Heather graduated with a Master of Divinity from Meadville Lombard Theological School (www.meadville.edu,) a Unitarian Universalist seminary. In her preparation for the ministry, she served as the Intern Minister for the Unitarian Universalist Church of the Lehigh Valley (www.uuclvpa.org) in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and completed two units of pastoral care training in Chicago. While all the ministers and members of Cedar Lane provide care to those facing hard times, Heather's ministry is defined by ensuring that everyone in the community has opportunities for spiritual support and companionship.

Raised in a nominally Catholic family in New England, Heather discovered Unitarian Universalism at the historic Arlington Street Church in Boston (www.ascboston.org
) as a young adult, the congregation that eventually ordained her into the ministry.

Heather lives in Takoma Park with her family of rescue animals: a spoiled cat and an exuberantly happy and loving Labrador Retriever. One of her spiritual practices is finding beauty in everyday life and trying to capture these images through digital photography.
You can see a selection of some of her photographs here: www.flickr.com/revfez  .


Last service of the 2012-2013 church year. Annual meeting and election of leaders after the service.

Religious Education for children and youth, as well as nursery will be available.

Launched March 13, 2008  UU  TV (previously uuplanet.tv) brings together the  UU videos from across the web making it easier for newcomers, members and friends to explore the world of Unitarian Universalism. There are currently over 1,300 UU videos on UU TV.  These videos are first found online by searches I have programmed, then each video is approved before going onto the site.  What’s the point?  This site brings together content from multiple video sharing sites allowing anyone to explore videos easily, including longer sermon videos those not found on Youtube.
