“Organized Nostalgia"
Organizational nostalgia – a sentimental longing for past events in, and aspects of, one's organizational life – is a commonly experienced but poorly understood emotion.
Welcome to Rev Richard M. Fewkes.
Dick Fewkes has served three churches in the Ballou Channing District: (1) First UU Society in Middleboro (1964-69), (2) is the Minister Emeritus of the First Parish in Norwell, MA where he served from 1969 to 2000, and (3) as Interim Minister at the First Parish UU Church, Bridgewater, 2000 – 2002. He resides with his partner Connie Johnson in Sagamore Beach, has a summer home on Cape Cod in West Dennis, is a grandfather to eight grandchildren, five great grandchildren, and is a member of the UU Meeting House in Chatham, MA.
How many times are you asked what church do you attend? What do you answer? When I answer ”Unitarian”, I am always asked “What is that?” How do you answer that question? I answer that I belong to a church where everyone is welcome. Where we are united as a family in the belief of common good for the betterment of all of us. I do believe in God, a power greater than all of us.
We will attempt to simulcast our service via Zoom. For those participating by Zoom, the experience will be different than previously. The hymns and other material will not be on the screen, and those present in the sanctuary will not be able to see or hear you. If you have an Announcement or a Joy or Concern to share, you should communicate it in advance to someone who will be physically present.
The Zoom link is https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82879461348 and the passcode is FallRiver (no space).
To join by phone, call 1 646 876 9923. The meeting ID is 828 7946 1348 and the passcode is 556537114
