Vision: What does it mean to follow Jesus?
Matthew Dyer, Lead Pastor
Today we explore what it means to follow Jesus and how his good news can shape who we are, how we live, and the community we create together.

Burtonsville Day Parade
Join Cedar Ridge for a favorite Burtonsville Day tradition! We’ll bring up the end of the parade, picking up trash along the route while kids ride the hay wagon and toss candy to the crowd. It’s a fun, visible way to care for our community, keep Burtonsville beautiful, and share who we are with our neighbors. Sign up here and we will email more information soon.
Sunday, September 27, 10:00 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.
Our Journey Celebration
Celebrating our people, our place, and the story we’re still writing
We will gather for a special celebration of Cedar Ridge’s journey and the people who have helped shape it. Following the service, we’ll continue with food, stories, activities, and time together as we celebrate this milestone and look toward what comes next.
Sign up to lend a hand during the week as we get everything ready, or choose a short shift on Sunday so you’ll still have plenty of time to enjoy the celebration. You can also share a dessert connected to your culture, family tradition, or a Cedar Ridge memory and help tell our story through food. Feel free to choose more than one way to participate!
Sunday Morning Book Study: Sundays at 8:45 a.m., in room 203
This group will meet most Sundays, currently discussing Love Thy Stranger, by New Testament scholar Bart Ehrman. Explore Jesus’ radical call to love those beyond our own circles through acts of compassion and care. For questions, or to confirm a meeting date, please contact Dave Martinsen davidmartinsen@yahoo.com. Everybody welcome!
The Criminal Justice Reform Team invites you to participate in a summer “book” club exploring The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story. This anthology of essays and poetry reframes American history by placing slavery and its enduring legacy at the center of the American story, inviting readers to consider how that history continues to shape American society today. While this work is not directly tied to issues of criminal justice, the CJRT picked this as a fantastic resource for learning and discussion.
There are multiple ways to engage with the material. You can read the book, listen to the audiobook or podcast (available on all major podcast platforms), or watch the related Hulu series. You are welcome to engage with any of these formats, to whatever extent you desire. Work through the material at your own pace during the summer and join us for a discussion and fellowship gathering planned for late August (details forthcoming).
