How can humility become a spiritual practice? As Adam Grant asks in his book "Think Again," is it possible for us to reframe and shift our thinking? Offering and Giving First 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 $200,000 to more than 70 organizations. For April 2026, The Cambridge Women's Center will share half the offering collected during Sunday worship at First Parish. The Cambridge Women's Center is a physical and digital community space open to anyone for whom woman is a meaningful identifier or lived experience. They offer a safe space for learning, emotional support, empathy, and empowerment through self-determination. Learn more at their website: https:\/\/www.cambridgewomenscenter.org\/. The remaining half of your offering supports the life and work of this Parish. To donate using your smartphone, you may text \u201cfpuu\u201d to 73256. Then follow the directions in the texts you receive. ","author_name":"Sermons from First Parish Unitarian Universalist of Arlington Massachusetts","author_url":"https:\/\/firstparish.info","html":"
