UU Nashua Stories Project
We want YOUR UU Nashua stories!
You are a part of history, we just don’t see it from where we are sitting. Wouldn’t it be great to have more records of what members of this church and its predecessor churches thought about being a part of the church fifty or a hundred years ago? Unfortunately we don’t have much. But we can make sure that our spiritual descendents have it from us. We are asking any and all members of the church to write up or record their thoughts so we can archive them for the future (and share them now). Here are some suggested questions to prompt you — you can respond to one or several of them:
-
When and why did you join the church?
-
What do you think is the biggest change you’ve seen at the church?
-
What is the most significant accomplishment of the church?
-
Why do you keep coming back?
You can share your answers in writing, in an audio recording, or in a video recording, whatever you are most comfortable doing. Think in terms of writing for the ages, not answering a survey, and for someone reading or listening to your note out of context (so, “I joined the church 17 years ago, when my kids were young because….And then….” not just “17 years ago. Because of my kids.”).. Feel free to mention specific details (people love those windows on history) even if you think future readers might not know the context.
