Kelley’s writing workshop will be shorter than our usual sermon and discussion, so we definitely plan to go to lunch after the service. Please make plans to join us at the IMPERIAL PALACE for some Chinese food and conversation on this Sunday.

Remember: We do not have a service on the 4th Sunday, August 27th.

Planning Ahead:
Sunday, September 10th is LOYALTY SUNDAY for UU’s. On this day, we make a special effort to invite friends and family to come to our services. If there is someone at work who may have expressed an interest in things Unitarian, this would be a good Sunday to ask them to visit. Dr. Schulman will be back with us then also.

Local UU News:
Our very own Huntsville UU Website not only looks great, but sounds good. Check it out!

We extend our thanks to Dixon Lichtenauer for providing the music for us while Sylvia DeVoss was enjoying the cool breezes in Canada. Also, our thanks to Ann Staples for providing us with some new hymnals.

An interesting e-mail arrived from a Rev. Douglas Morgan Strong minister of a UU church in Plano. Seems he’s on vacation and someone has been calling various UU churches in TX to say that the Rev. Strong is trying to help a homeless man with AIDS. Rev. Strong says it’s a scam–send no money. Very clever these con guys!

Community News:
The Blood Bank is low this summer. Please get to the next Blood Drive. It will be held at West Hill Mall on Saturday, August 12th from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m You will be glad you gave!

The genome discoveries have opened new worlds for all of us. Most UU’s are intrigued with new scientific findings as was Sir Isaac Newton. He said:

"...We have been children, playing on the shore,
Picking up pretty pebbles...
While there beside us lay the Ocean,
Wide with undiscovered Truth."
