Huntsville UU Services
	
 Sun. April 11:  Dr. Frank Schulman's sermon title is " The Message of the Cross."  
	Easter raises the question of immortality.  There is a general kind of immortality, in which we live through our children, good works, and our influence. 
	There is a different kind, too, in which the personality is preserved and we are not lost forever, but continue in a meaningful way 
	with God. Can it be? We don't know; but we wonder.  
 At the end of this Easter Service, there will be Communion that 
	is open to everyone who wishes to participate, without regard to belief. Participate if you wish to renew your desire to 
	be a better person. If you do not wish to participate, you may simply pass the bread and wine to the next person.
 Join us afterward for a pot luck lunch at the home of Anne and Kelley Sigler.
 Sun. April 25: Naomi Lede will be our speaker. Her topic is "Strength, Faith, and 
Character of Afro-American Women." Naomi writes a column for the Huntsville Item. She is Senior Research Scientist, 
Texas Transportation Institute, Texas A & M University System and a semi-retired educator living in Huntsville. She has 
written 10 books and more than 300 research studies/articles/professional papers on urban planning, community development, 
education, and transportation issues and problems. Her other accolades are too numerous to list as they would be longer than 
this entire newsletter. Suffice it to say, she has led and continues to lead a busy, productive life.
  Sun. May 2: The annual Huntsville Unitarian business meeting will meet 
at the home of Karl and Melissa 
Mahaffey at 10:30 a.m.   Officers will be elected and a budget established for the coming year.  Bring a dish to share and join 
us for lunch and business.
