... there is a much easier way to do that, which doesn't involve any other files.
Schedule your script to run every Sunday.
Now, the date of any first Sunday of the month (or any first ***day of the month for that matter ) will always fall between the 1st of the month and the 7th of the month, since there are only 7 days on a week.
So, the first Sunday of the month can only be the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, or .the 7th.
So, at the beginning of your script, you are going to make a variable that will be equal to the extracted day number from the date command, and add a small if statement, and if that number is higher than 7, you script should exit.
Like this:

DESCRIPTION
This module provides routines to format dates. They correspond to the libc routines. &strftime() supports a pretty good set of coversions
-- more than most C libraries.
strftime supports a pretty good set of conversions.
The POSIX module has very similar functionality. You should consider using it instead if you do not have allergic reactions to system
libraries.
