Sunday Kind of Love ... There is an African Proverb that teaches, "To go fast, go alone. To go far, go together." When we choose to "go together" we are practicing the harmonizing and unifying spiritual principle of Love. Love is the great healer that brings everything into Divine alignment and feels oh so good when we allow this to happen! Join Rev. Anne as she explores what it means to let God--to let Love--express in your life in this easy, relaxed, comfortable kind of way.

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.  Prayer and meditation are an integral part of Unity's spiritual principles, and an essential practice in realizing the answers we seek.  We believe in the transformative power of affirmative prayer. You are a unique expression of God.  Spiritual counseling will remind you of that!
 
Spiritual counseling is offered on a love offering basis. While no specific fee is expected or suggested, we do invite each person to leave a love offering.  For more details, please call the church office 817-467-5151.

UNITY'S FIVE BASIC PRINCIPLES

Principle #1:
There is only one Presence and one Power in the Universe and in my life, God the Good.

Principle #2:
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. 

Principle #3:
Human beings create their experiences by the activity of their thinking.  Everything in the manifest realm has its beginning in thought.

Principle #4:
Prayer is creative thinking that heightens the connection with God Mind and therefore brings forth wisdom, healing, prosperity, and everything good.

Principle #5:
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

LOVE:
As expressions of Spirit, we embrace and reflect the Divine in all. Love is the nature of who we are.

IN-SPIRITED:
We live from a conscious connection with Spirit. We affirm there is only one presence and one power, and we are expressions of it.

INCLUSIVE:
We lovingly embrace all people. We are One Loving Spirit.

SERVICE:
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.
