Newsletter - November 2003

Huntsville UU Services
Sun. Nov 9: Our guest speaker will be Abd'Allah Muhammad-Bey who is currently the acting resident Imam of the Huntsville Masjid Al-Ummah. His topic will be "The Islamic Way of Life." Imam Abd'Allah Muhammad-Bey is also the founder and director of the Whole-Way House, a substance abuse counseling center for ex-offenders. This house offers limited residence and employment opportunities to people of all faiths.

Sun. Nov 23: Dr. Schulman's sermon topic will be "The Story of the Pilgrims." The story of the Pilgrims is often told and we never tire of it. It is a story of bravery, piety, and devotion to a great ideal. The Mayflower was a pitifully small ship. When it finally landed, every person remaining alive was sick. Precious little they had to be thankful for, but they were. They came to America to find freedom for their souls, to worship God as their consciences dictated. They bequeathed us a mighty heritage. The sermon will tell their story. It's longer than usual and tells of strange twists to their fate.

Paul and Anne Isham will provide refreshments on November 23. Thank you.


Huntsville UU Women
Wed. Nov 5: The Women's Sharing Circle will continue the study of UU curriculum Cakes for the Queen of Heaven. Gail Phillips will facilitate Lesson 3: "Reclaiming Our Power As Women." See her for handouts to read before the meeting. We will meet in the home of Anne Sigler, 1321 Greenbriar Dr.

Wed. 12: The UU Women will join the Red Hat Society for lunch at 1:00 P.M. at The Catfish Place on Highway 19 in Huntsville.
