Coloring for Relaxation & Meditation
Thursday, June 29th, 2017
Garden Lane Center
7pm

Coloring isn't just for kids!  One of the reasons adult coloring books have become so popular is because they are a major stress-buster and tension reliever.  Join Rev. Anne for a night of coloring for relaxation and meditation in a soothing and comfortable environment.  We encourage you to bring your own coloring book and markers, but there will also be some sheets and supplies available.  Sign up sheet in foyer.  Love offering.

While supplies last, you'll receive a Color Your Zen Daily Word Coloring Book Sampler, when you attend one of our coloring classes.

"You Got This!"
Sunday, July 2nd, 2017
11am,  Kim-Char Meredith  & Chelley Seibert
Guest Artists and Guest Speakers
    
"You Got This!" It's likely we've all heard that phrase, perhaps as encouragement when facing a challenge or as we moved toward a finish line. Kim-Char and Chelley will share music and a message that examines this simple phrase, inviting us to embrace a fuller meaning.

YOUR COMMUNITY
Volunteer Opportunities and Services
Congratulations to our Spirit Group Leaders

Our Spirit Group leaders attended the 2017 Spirit Group Leadership Conference at Unity of the Hills in Austin, June 9-11. 

Unity of Arlington received the Glenda Engagement Award for exceeding 50% congregational engagement in small group programs. 

Leadership awards include:

Truman Thompson was honored with the Challenge Award
Peter Lynch was honored with the Compassion Award

Steve Morris was one of the keynote speakers and received a standing ovation! It was a great time for connecting with leaders from other Spirit Group programs across the country.




Prayer Box 2.0


The Prayer Chaplains are looking for an Angel to create a new Prayer Box for the Sanctuary. 
 
Over the past years our Prayer Box has become more and more active and it is showing the wear from prayerful use.  It has had a couple of emergency surgeries but has surely reached the time for its retirement.
 
The Chaplains are looking for:
  • Something unique that reflects our Community
  • Not much larger than the current Prayer Box; portable
  • A slot for prayer requests rather than having to open the box
  • A drawer for past prayer requests (the Chaplains keep 4-5 weeks of prayer requests)
  • A drawer for the meager supplies; ink pens, prayer request slips, envelopes 
If you have a tingling saying that this might be yours to do, please contact Naora ([email protected] ) or Becky ([email protected] ) for more information.
 
Rev. Anne will have the final say on the design.


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. 
Youth & Family Ministry

YFM classes meet in the Administration building, next to the Sanctuary, during the 11am Sunday Celebration Service.   All children up to 14 years old must be signed in by an adult.  Our classes begin at 11:00 am, but children may arrive as early as 10:30 am. The Youth & Family Ministry at Unity of Arlington includes interactive educational programs for youth ages 4-18, as well as, a Nursery for infants and toddlers.  We believe in learning through fun!

Unikids (pre-k, age 4 through 5th grade)
Children meet each Sunday morning during the 11:00 am service to explore spiritual truths through a Living Curriculum specifically designed to introduce them to the Unity Principles through interactive, fun activities, and meet their individual  learning needs.
Uniteens (6th through 8 grade)
Our Uniteen group meets each Sunday to explore spiritual truths and how these truths relate to their personal lives. This is a safe place for youth in their preteen years (middle school) to connect with others and explore what they believe.  Our Uniteens attend weekend Unitreats for fellowship, lots of fun, and a chance to share their ideas and experiences with other Uniteens in the region.
Y.O.U. - Youth of Unity    (9th through 12th grade )
Youth of Unity (Y.O.U.) is an active teen ministry for high school students.
Teens gather on Sunday to explore and discover spiritual truths and learn how these truths 
relate to their lives.  Our teens have the opportunity to attend weekend regional rallies for fellowship and sharing their ideas and experiences with other teens in the region.

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.
