“Secrets and Lies”
Rev. Dr. Jonipher Kwong, Interim Lead Minister, preaching
Is it possible to hold confidentiality and be as transparent as possible? Who are we protecting? What are the stories we tell and how do we prevent ourselves from spreading lies and malicious rumors in our congregation?

Giving First for September 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 September 2026, the Community Day Center of Waltham will share half the offering collected during Sunday worship at First Parish. The Community Day Center of Waltham provides a core range of support and services to people facing homelessness in Metrowest. They believe that all people, no matter where they are on their life journey, deserve to be treated with dignity. CDCW holds true to the basic tenets of hospitality where the host welcomes the guest with goodwill and expects guests to return the same level of respect.
The other half of the offering supports the life and work of First Parish.
