Administration Bldg
After 11am Service
An Opportunity For Spiritual Growth and Enrichment
Are you ready for the next step in your spiritual journey? Are you searching for a way to serve? Are you interested in improving your personal prayer life? Are you seeking inner peace? Do you want to be more aware of God's presence? If you answered yes to any of the questions above, I invite you to prayerfully consider becoming a prayer chaplain. Being a prayer chaplain is transformational soul work, which enriches your life and that of the congregation.
A prayer chaplain has a very clearly defined role:
- A prayer chaplain acknowledges and calls on the presence of God
- A prayer chaplain lovingly listens
- A prayer chaplain prays from the heart
- A prayer chaplain holds in confidence what is shared
No prior experience is required. Please join us in the Admin Building on Sunday, September 17th, 2017 to learn more. Contact NaOra Horton at
[email protected]
if you have questions.

Reverend Anne Tabor, M.Div., is available by appointment for spiritual counseling sessions at Unity of Arlington in a safe and supportive environment. As an ordained Unity minister, Rev. Anne, offers spiritual counseling to individuals seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and their divine power within to solve life's challenges. Spiritual counseling can help if there is a need for inspiration, crisis support, or healing in any area of your life.

You are a unique expression of God. Spiritual counseling will remind you of that!

UNITY'S FIVE BASIC PRINCIPLES
There is only one Presence and one Power in the Universe and in my life, God the Good.
Human beings have a spark of divinity within them, the Christ spirit within. Their essence is of God, and therefore they are also inherently good.
Human beings create their experiences by the activity of their thinking. Everything in the manifest realm has its beginning in thought.
Prayer is creative thinking that heightens the connection with God Mind and therefore brings forth wisdom, healing, prosperity, and everything good.
Knowing and understanding the laws of life, also called Truth, are not enough. A person must live the truth he or she knows.
|
CORE VALUES
As expressions of Spirit, we embrace and reflect the Divine in all. Love is the nature of who we are.
We live from a conscious connection with Spirit. We affirm there is only one presence and one power, and we are expressions of it.
We lovingly embrace all people. We are One Loving Spirit.
We actively meet the needs of our community. We are expressions of Christ Consciousness.
INTEGRITY:
We consciously choose to practice transparency and authenticity in living our Core Values and Unity Principles. Spiritual integrity is seeking true alignment with our highest intentions, core values, and principles.
