Rev Paul Sprecher will join us with a sermon titled “Mother’s for Reconciliation” - The women who first advocated for Mother’s Day were addressing themselves TO mothers, not asking others to praise them. Remembering the work of Julia Ward Howe and Anna Reese Jarvis and her daughter Anna M. Jarvis reminds us that Mother’s Day was once something more than a celebration of highly commercialized sentimentality.
Rev. Paul Sprecher is the minister at First Parish in Bridgewater. Previously, he was the minister of Second Parish in Hingham for seven years. In other lifetimes, Rev. Paul taught seventh and eighth grade English and US History for ten years at the Collegiate School for Boys in New York City, then started a new career as a computer consultant and later as Vice President for Technology at the American Stock Exchange.
