"Dear God, It's Hot!" ... What do you do when the heat is on and your spiritual temperature is rising in the midst of trying times? Especially when the daily news seems to supply lots of opportunities for struggle in the areas of money, politics and religion. Join Rev. Anne for the 1st in her four-part Summer Message Series:  Summertime and the Livin' is ... Easy?

The Spiritual Art of Sweet Surrender

The Spiritual Art of Sweet Surrender ... The act of spiritual surrender isn't so much about throwing your hands up in the air and saying, "Jesus, take the wheel!" as it is about allowing God to live, move, and breath as you. This small shift in consciousness is huge if you're feeling stuck. Join Rev. Anne for part two in her talk series, Summertime and the Livin' is ... Easy?, as we look at the spiritual steps you can take to move into a state of allowing more good into your life.

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.
