“Sometimes it is Enough to Notice One Another”
Rev. Heather Janules

Drawing from a tradition begun by another UU minister and words from Robert Fulghum and Mary Oliver, three generations of Cedar Laners will respond to Oliver’s question: “What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” 

10:10 Forum: The Magic of Short Films. This post-Thanksgiving forum offers two heart-warming short films about universal values, honesty, and passing treasure to the next generation.  The Face (23 mins.) is based on the Zen story, The Magic Seed. The Letter Writer (11 mins.) may intrigue you with how to send your compassion and encouragement over the miles, using ink, on paper! POPCORN will be served.

Music Notes: This morning we hear “The Ceaseless Flow of Endless Time,” a beautiful four-part harmony sung by Gruppo Piccolo.  The tune of this African American spiritual is known as “McKee.”  The text was created by John Andrew Storey and the harmonization in our hymnal (#350) was created by Harry T. Burleigh.                        

Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina was a seminal force in the composition of sacred choral music of the Renaissance.  Living in Rome from 1525 -1594, Palestrina created some of the most vivid polyphonic (many voices) music to be sung in the church.  His motet, Alma Redemptoris Mater, was composed for use in the Advent season, in homage to Mary.  This particular anthem offers a balance between homophonic singing, in which all four vocal lines mirror each other, and polyphonic singing, where one or more of the lines are independent of each other. 

I Sing the Body Electric is a golden oldie from the hit movie, “Fame,” which was first released in 1980 and has since spawned multiple musicals.  “Fame” followed the lives of several talented students in the New York High School for the Arts as they made their way through their high school career.  I Sing the Body Electric was part solo and part vocal ensemble; young people looking toward a universe of possibilities.

Special thanks to the members of Gruppo Piccolo for leading our musical worship this morning.  It is always a treat to hear the close harmonies of a chamber choir.  Gruppo Piccolo is currently in need of an additional bass singer.  Anyone interested may contact Henry Sgrecci at hsgrecci@cedarlane.org or call 301-493-8300, x 314.

Roger Fritts
The Washington Post has “A feast of Thanksgiving DVDs” on its web site where you can vote on your favorite Thanksgiving movie/television show.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/11/23/AR2009112301970.html

Sadly, the list leaves out my favorites. As a child of the 60s, I liked the 1969 movie “Alice's Restaurant,” the true story about how folk singer Arlo Guthrie avoided the military draft because the police arrested him for dumping trash illegally. The trash was the result of a Thanksgiving meal held in a former church in Great Barrington, Massachusetts in 1965. In 1991, Arlo Guthrie acquired the church and converted it to the Guthrie Center, a nondenominational, interfaith meeting place. Now each year a “Garbage Trail Walk,” retraces the route that Arlo took to dump the trash. It raises money for Huntington's disease research. On Thanksgiving, the Center is the host to a “Thanksgiving dinner that can't be beat” for people in the local community.

However, my current favorite Thanksgiving movie is “What's Cooking?” made in 2000. Four families live on the four corners of the same residential intersection in Los Angeles: A Jewish family, a Hispanic family, an  African-American family, and a Vietnamese family. The director/writer is Gurinder Chadha, an Indian woman of Punjabi ancestry and Kenyan roots, who grew up in London and married Paul Mayeda Berges, a half-Japanese American.  (Gurinder Chadha is also responsible for the 2002 movie “Bend It Like Beckham.”) The movie is a collage of family life, showing the different foods that four different ethnic traditions serve for Thanksgiving.

I know of no movies about spending Thanksgiving away from people. I remember one Thanksgiving weekend I spent a wonderful few hours by myself walking in Myles Standish State Forest ten miles from Plymouth, Massachusetts. Because it was late in the New England autumn, the path in the state forest was empty of other people.  I had the woods to myself.  Yet I did not feel lonely. The sun warmed me. I had several hours free to wander in a beautiful forest, alive in the world. It would make a dull movie, but it was a wonderful day.

It is possible, I think, to enjoy Thanksgiving by watching a good movie or by taking a walk in the company of trees and squirrels, or both.  However you spend this day, I wish you the best.

We Care: A Ministry of Community Support
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 the friends and family of Frances Willoughby (N8,) who died on Sunday, November 22. A Service in Celebration of Her Life will be held sometime this Spring.

We celebrate with Elizabeth and Michael Benefiel (N13) as they return from participating in the Service of Ordination for their daughter, Rebecca Benefiel Bijur, into the Unitarian Universalist ministry. Hooray!

Heartfelt condolences are with Glenis Bellais (N25) with the death of her brother Roger after a long illness, the second sibling to pass in less than one year.

            It is with sadness that we announce the death of Dorothy Brethouwer Dutton, a former Cedar Laner who was       
            once a long-time, committed member of the congregation. Dorothy died on November 22 at age 98 after a long
            decline. A Service in Celebration of Her Life will be held this Saturday, November 28 at 10:00 am at Moser
            Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton, VA. All are welcome.

Update on Jim Jacobson (N30): Due to his treatments and a lung infection, he is not up for calls or visits right now. However, as cards have buoyed Jim and his family, they are welcome and encouraged! Please send notes to The Weinberg Building at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center/Room 5C-02/401 North Broadway/Baltimore, MD 21231. Judy will let us know when in-person contact would be appropriate.

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.

Ad Hoc Choir
The Choir will meet this Sunday, November 29 at 12:30 in the Chapel.  We’ll sing a few of the hymns that will occur during the December worship services.  Don’t worry about the sound of your voice.  Just come and enjoy the company and music of those around you.  Hope to see you there!

November 29- Gruppo Piccolo will make its first appearance of the year.  During this first Sunday of Advent the ensemble will sing Palestrina’s motet Alma Redemptoris Mater and, for a total change of pace, I Sing the Body Electric from the musical “Fame.” Hymns will include “For All That is Our Life” and ”Just as Long as I Have Breath.”

December 6 -  Kenneth Kreider and Aglaia Koras will perform the music of George Gershwin during the Prelude and Offertory.  The Adult Choir will sing Advent Message by Martin How and I Hear the Prophet Callin’.  The Congregation will sing “People Look East” and “Let Christmas Come.”

December 13 - The Intergenerational Handbell Choir will unveil a new set of instruments called “choir chimes.”  The chimes, which look like enormous tuning forks, produce a quiet, shimmering tone that carries throughout the Sanctuary.  The choir will ring Shalom Chavarim on the chimes to acknowledge the beginning of Hanukkah.  The choir will ring Advent Carol (Veni Emmanuel) during Call to Worship.  The Adult Choir will sing Watchman, Tell Us of the Night as the Anthem.  Hymns will include “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” and “Light One Candle.” 

Christmas Eve - sounds of harp and violin will permeate the air as The Adult Choir sings selections from Benjamin Britten’s hallmark composition, “A Ceremony of Carols.”  If you are a singer who particularly enjoys singing sounds of the season, contact Henry Sgrecci at hsgrecci@cedarlane.org and arrange to sing with the Choir on Christmas Eve.

   December 13: The first presidential impeachment, Andrew Johnson in 1868, threatened to become a second Civil War as Americans argued bitterly over the meaning of the war and the end of slavery.

Stewart will share the story of this constitutional train wreck from his new book, Impeached: The Trial of President Andrew Johnson and the Fight for Lincoln's Legacy.  Copies will be for sale and David will sign them.

            They share a deep interest in interfaith dialogue and building bridges among religious groups.
They will begin with a basic introduction to the Muslim faith, including 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 the speakers will welcome all kinds of questions.

Grieving a Loved One Through the Holidays
At their best, the winter holidays are joyous times with family and other companions. However, the death of a loved one can make the holiday season a difficult time of grief and renewed sadness. On December 20 at 12:30 pm in the Chapel, there will be a gathering of those who wish to share their thoughts and feelings about the people they miss this holiday season.

Perhaps the death was recent. Perhaps the loss happened long ago. Whomever you miss this December, you are invited to remember them in community. This gathering is not group therapy but a time to merely share what comes up for us in this season of festivities and to listen to one another’s experiences. All are welcome. The gathering will be facilitated by Heather Janules, the Minister for Pastoral Care. NOTE: DUE TO A SCHEDULING CONFLICT, THE PREVIOUSLY ADVERTISED SESSION ON 12/13 HAS BEEN CANCELLED. If you have any questions or concerns about this meeting or if you plan to attend, please contact Heather at x204 or hjanules@cedarlane.org.

Optional donations for Beacon House will be accepted – hats, scarves, mittens, unwrapped toys, or cash.

The Labyrinth Committee’s annual Silent Retreat will take place this year from 7 p.m. on Friday, January 8, 2010 to 6 p.m. January 9, at the church.  We will begin with an ingathering ceremony and end with reflections and refreshments.  In between we will walk our labyrinth, read, write, meditate, take walks, do whatever the spirit moves us to do. Some participants fast, some bring their own food.  Some bring a sleeping bag, others go home to sleep and return in the morning. The Reverend Heather Janules will lead the ceremonies and be available during the rest of the time.  It’s wonderful (for those who like this sort of thing!) so please consider joining us. $15 for members; $20 for non-members. Call Miriam Pemberton, 301-495-3429 with questions.

A photo exhibit of Al Nakba (The Catastrophe) is being displayed during November in the outer foyer of the church.  The exhibit is a story of the Palestinians, 1948 to 2009, produced by Friends of Sabeel Canada.

UUA Focus on Ethical Eating
The Ethical Eating Study Group is underway, but new members are always welcome.  Our goals are to study the issues, share what we learn, and act on this information. 

The Study Group was formed partly due to the urging of the UUA but also due to our own interests in exploring the far reaching effects of our food choices.  Each of us defines “ethical eating” a little differently.  What does it mean to you?  Join us at our next meetings on December 3, 10 and 17 at 7:30 p.m.  For information contact Donna Runyan, 301-493-8463, jndrunyan@msn.com.

Free Movie:  “Food, Inc.”
The Environmental Task Force will show the movie “Food, Inc.” in the Sanctuary on Friday evening, December 11.  This thought provoking documentary deconstructs the corporate food industry in America.  Alex Beauchamp from Food and Water Watch will introduce the film and answer questions afterwards.  Come at 6:45 p.m. for a vegetarian potluck.  Bring food to share.  The movie begins at 7:30 p.m.  RSVP to Charlotte Brewer (301-656-0467, jarvischarlot@aol.com) so we know how many to expect.  We need people to wash dishes after the movie.  Please let Charlotte know if you can help.

Are you working on a social justice issue? Would you like to? Share your passion and invite others to join you at
Cedar Lane’s Social Justice Fair
Sunday, Jan 10, 2010

The Social Justice Council (SJC) will flood the lounge with justice after both services on Sunday, January 10. Help us create ways for Cedar Laners to make a better world.

Cedar Laners will be invited to commit to a certain number of hours of social justice work between January and March. (We don’t want to discourage activity before and after that, of course, just want to concentrate our efforts to build momentum as 2010 begins!) We hope to provide lots of inspiring opportunities. You can help by setting up a table with:
· Information about an issue you are working on or care about
· A range of ways people can get involved including any or all of the following:

· A one-time event you or your group organizes at a specific time/place

· Things people can do on their own time

· Activities for families with young children (this is particularly important!)

· Service learning opportunities for high school students (this too!)

· An invitation to come to your group’s next meeting, or join you to start a new group

· Service (stream clean ups, nursing home visits…), advocacy (letter writing, lobbying…), organizing (door knocking, phone calling…), and/or fundraising activities

· Any other creative ideas you have!

You can reserve table space by stopping by the Social Justice Council table in the lounge or emailing to betsy@devlin-foltz.com Non-profit organizations not (yet!) active at Cedar Lane are welcome. (We ask that outside organizations have a Cedar Lane “sponsor” i.e. someone who thinks it’s a good idea and can serve as a point of contact.)
