Sun. April 9: Our guest speaker will be the Reverend Leonora
Montgomery, Minister Emeritus of the Bay Area Unitarian-Universalist Church in Houston, who will speak on
"Knowing What to Do with Your Life "
Some youth finish high school and don't want to go on to college.
Some college seniors stall in indecision--What next? Some people halt in mid-life and give up one career for another.
Some, facing the end of life, wonder: Did my life count? Can religion help?
Immediately following this service there will be a going away party for Scott and Anita Plummer and
Sylvia DeVoss at Carla and Tom McAdams' house at 86 Dahlia Rd in the Timberwilde subdivision. This will
be a potluck, so everyone bring your favorite dish.
Sun. April 23: Our guest speaker will be the Reverend
Tom Capo, Minister of the Spindletop Unitarian Church in Beaumont, Texas. The title of his sermon is "Darwin and/or
Intelligent Design "
You can't miss the many school board and state court
battles over whether Intelligent Design is just a refurbished form of Creationism. We need to keep
religion out of the classroom and in the church where it belongs. In our churches and fellowships, do we
affirm the wonder, perhaps even the reflection of the divine, in creation?

Annual Meeting
Meet Our Newest Member
Goodbye to Our Friends
Scott has been very
active in our church and has been a past president.
Scott grew up in rural Utah and is returning there to
be nearer to his family, especially his 90-year old mother
who has had a spell of ill health. Scott is a
graduate of Utah State University (B.A.), Rice
University (Ph.D. in French) and the University of
Houston (M.S.W.). He has worked in many different
settings as a teacher, social worker, and, since
moving to Huntsville, as an independent business
person. Scott states that he will miss all the
members of the Unitarian Fellowship and that his
association with us will be some of the precious
memories that he brings with him from Texas.
Anita was born and raised in Michigan, she moved to
California after receiving a Masters in Social Work.
She married Scott when she was a doctoral student at
Rice and continued her professional career in Houston
and Huntsville. Scott and Anita are currently serving
as co-vice-presidents and program chairs, and we
appreciate the hard work that they have done.
Sylvia DeVoss was born and raised in British Columbia,
Canada. She graduated from the University of Redlands
in California and lived on a ranch in Oregon, where
she raised three wonderful children. She was a
Corporate Manager of Training at Foley's Department
store before moving to Huntsville. After moving to
Huntsville she sold nutritional supplements and worked
for several years for H & R Block Co. preparing income
tax returns. Sylvia is a talented pianist and has
been the fellowships keyboardist for many years. We
will miss the beauty that she brings to our services.
