       | Homecoming 2002: From the Opening Ceremony when Thomas Potter and all the guest participants launch the day, through the workshops, lunch and culminating in the tent revival, there was something for everyone:
Homecoming 2002 Special Guest Participants…
Rev. Olympia Brown was the first woman to achieve full ministerial standing by any denomination
in this country. Rev. Janet Bowering, who currently resides in Plaistow, NH, will be bringing Olympia Brown’s thoughts on hope and courage to life for us at this year’s Homecoming celebration. She is the Minister Emeritus of the UU Church in Haverhill, MA, has served several other UU churches and as a board member for the UU Women’s Federation, the Church of the Larger Fellowship, the UU Historical Society, and the UU Women’s Heritage Society, among many other organizations.
Theodore J. Fetter has been the president of the Murray Grove Association for the past three years and will take on the special role of “lay evangelist” for this year’s Homecoming revival. Ted has served as the president and chair of the diversity committee and in other volunteer roles for the UU Congregation of Princeton, NJ, and Metro New York District. He works as the Deputy Director for the New Jersey court system, has three grown sons and lives with wife Jane in Lawrenceville, NJ.
Rev. Roberta Finkelstein has served the UUs of Sterling, VA, as their minister for the past five years. She is a life-long UU who grew up at the Community Church of New York and is active in our larger movement at both the District and Continental levels. Rev.

Rev. Rosemary Bray McNatt was called as the settled minister to the Fourth Universalist Society in New York in September 2001. She is a widely anthologized writer whose work has appeared in major magazines and newspapers; the author of several books, including Martin Luther King, a children’s biography, Unafraid of the Dark and Beloved Prayers for Black Children.

Nick Page has brought the house down at several UU General Assemblies including Salt Lake City and Calgary.
He led the first GA Children’s Choir in Nashville and brought tears to everyone’s eyes with a
poignant song called “Courage” about a girl who decided to change the world, but realizes this courage
has to begin with her at school and home. Nick’s riveting style of song leading captivates people of all ages
and musical backgrounds including ardent non-singers (who find themselves joining in most often simply because it’s
not about performance or making judgments – it’s about compassion and celebration). More info: www.nickmusic.com
