Our Building is Progressing: The exterior of our own church building at 144 East Mosley has now been completed. After the structure was under a roof and dried in, it took many, many hours of volunteer labor to caulk the Hardi-plank. Then the painting, including trim, was completed the third week in November. Exterior motion lights have been installed and activated. Phase 2 to make the building usable is well underway. Water and electricity have been connected to the building. The sound and electrical wiring (except for the kitchen and heavy AC wiring) is in. At a meeting at the building on Dec. 5, the congregation will have the opportunity to give input on interior finishes. See pictures of the construction under photos.

December Service: The December service will be on the first Sunday of the month, Dec. 6th, this year. There will be no other service in December. John Pepper, Huntsville UU's intern minister, will speak on "The Lady in Our Midst."

Every year a large contingent of the local Catholic community celebrates the appearance of the Lady of Guadalupe to Juan Diego. This event happened almost 500 years ago and the impact on the indigenous people simply cannot be measured. Whether or not you believe the actual "miracle" story, the events that came afterwards are inspiring and enlightening. Please join me as we celebrate the "miracle" and the history. We will also initiate our Guest at Your Table program, one of the UUSC's primary means of funding their humanitarian projects all over the world.--John Pepper

Christmas Party: The annual Christmas party will be a potluck at the Stringers' home on Sunday, Dec. 6th, after the morning service held at the Laura Chapel.

New Members: We are growing! We now have thirty-one members. Our newest member is Kim Francisco, services coordinator at the Huntsville Public Library. See the article about her in the Huntsville Item, Nov. 8.

Sandy Stokes, who joined in October, is a student majoring in psychology at SHSU and not new to Unitarianism. She attended services at Northwoods in The Woodlands before moving to Huntsville.

Congregational Meeting: A business meeting will be held at the new church building at 144 East Mosley on Sat, Dec. 5, at 1:00 p.m., for the purpose of considering amendments to the bylaws. Also, the Aesthetics Committee will have samples of OSB, v board, beadboard, sheetrock, etc, to view for input on choices for the interior of the building. Please bring your own chair to this meeting.

Coffeehouse: Sat, Dec 12, at 8:00 p.m.: Lucie Blue Tremblay will perform at the Millbend Coffeehouse at Northwoods UU in The Woodlands.
