MINISter and staff

Rev.  Rebecca is called to a pastoral and prophetic ministry where people and  communities know themselves to be worthy of love and able to love.  

Rev. Rebecca began her ministry at United First Parish Church in July 2015, following a unanimous vote of the congregation. Prior to her ministry in Quincy,  Rev. Rebecca served as Assistant Minister at First  Universalist Society in Franklin, MA and Intern Minister at Arlington  Street Church in Boston, MA.

Rev. Rebecca grew up in a multifaith, multiracial neighborhood in Philadelphia where she was raised by a father who was a Presbyterian minister and a mother who is Unitarian Universalist. Rev.

 Norman  has been with United First Parish Church for more than 35 years.  Growing up in Western New York, he started piano lessons at the age of  six. In high school, he began organ studies, played clarinet in the  school band, accompanied the high school chorus, and sang in his church choir.

At the University of Rochester, he majored in English, but studied  organ all four years at Eastman School of Music, and sang in his organ  teacher’s choir, where he met his wife Rita. He has spent most of his  life in the Boston area as organist and choir director. He is also  library assistant at Social Law Library in Boston.

“While my parents listened to all types of music, they especially  enjoyed the popular music of the forties and fifties. I felt drawn to  classical music from a very early age, and came to love Prokofiev,  Stravinsky and Charles Ives, as well as Bach and Handel. I am constantly  learning new music, and try to challenge myself and the choir as  performers, and the congregation as listeners.”
