“Healthy Boundaries = Healthy Beings”
Rev. Dr. Jonipher Kwong, Interim Lead Minister, preaching
Using Nedra Tawwab’s book Set Boundaries, Find Peace: A Guide to Reclaiming Yourself as the basis for this sermon, how do we live a more authentic life by knowing what we can tolerate or not? How do we draw a line where we end and someone else begins? What impact might this have on our relationships?

Giving First for February 2026
The Giving First program donates 50% of the non-pledge offering each month to a charitable organization that we feel is consistent with Unitarian Universalist principles. The program began in November 2009, and First Parish has donated over $250,000 to more than 70 organizations.
For February 2026, Boston Healthcare for the Homeless will share half the offering collected during Sunday worship at First Parish. The mission of the Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program is to provide or assure access to the highest quality health care for all individuals and families experiencing homelessness in our community. BHCHP is an integrated team of over 600 medical and behavioral health staff, social service providers, and support staff committed to providing comprehensive, high-quality health care for individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Boston and beyond. Learn more at their website: https://www.bhchp.org/.
The other half of the offering supports the life and work of First Parish.
