Friend and Member Resources

In accordance with recommendations agreed on as part of the Vision2020 “Roots and Wings” strategic planning that occurred in 2016, the congregation is undertaking bold measures to update several spaces in the building that Cedar Lane calls home. These renovations are expected to begin in early 2023 and last for about a year. You can keep up to date on the renovation progress in the Building a New Way section on the Where Love Works website.

Is your team planning a program, event, or meeting (in-person, online, or multiplatform) at Cedar Lane? Once your team has determined the details, please complete Cedar Lane's Program and Events Scheduling Form. Upon receipt of the form, Cedar Lane's Office Administrator will confirm the date, time, and location of the event.

Submission of the form ensures your event doesn't conflict with others; that it is listed on the Cedar Lane calendar; and all set-up details are communicated. It also allows us to showcase the breadth and depth of programming that Cedar Lane offers!

Questions about the form? Please contact Lizzie Person, Office Administrator at lperson@cedarlane.org or 301-493-8300 ext. 204

After your team's program or event has been scheduled, it's time to promote it! Avenues for promotion include Cedar Lane's weekly eNews, Facebook/Instagram, slides at Sunday service, and more. Please complete the Communications Form to provide staff with details and graphics to support you in promoting it.

Please note, the deadline for submitting requests for the weekly eNews is Tuesdays at 6:00 PM.
