 White Stone Ceremony
Sunday, January 6, 2019
Join us as Rev. Anne leads our special Unity tradition of the White Stone Ceremony. This
is your opportunity to listen to the still small voice of Spirit within to discern your guidance for the New Year and beyond. Each congregant will be given a white stone upon which to write their unique word or phrase. This deeply moving and empowering service will help move you into a spiritually energized, inspired, and joyful 2019!
The inspiration for the White Stone Ceremony comes from Revelation 2:17:
"Let anyone who has an ear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To everyone who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give a white stone, and on the white stone is written a new name that no one knows except the one who receives it."
Please note, our Y.O.U./Uniteens will celebrate with their own White Stone Ceremony, while the Unikids will have a special lesson on new beginnings.

 Unity in a Nutshell #1:
"Good God!"
Sunday, January 13, 2019
Are you familiar with Unity's Five Principles and how they came about? Or, is it time to refresh your spiritual understanding of these timeless Truths?
Join Rev. Anne for her back to basics five-part Sunday Message Series, "Unity in a Nutshell 2019." This powerful series is perfect for those new to the teachings of Unity, as well as, those of us who have been practicing these spiritual principles for years and look forward to a renewal of the essentials. In the first principle, we will explore the Divine Idea that God is Good and we are One with God! This is a great time to invite friends and family!

 Have you considered
becoming a Prayer Chaplain?
It is the time of year at Unity of Arlington when we actively seek those who feel called to serve as Prayer Chaplains. Have you been hearing that "voice" that nudges you to consider serving in this way? Well, now is your opportunity to look deeper. Over the next few weeks we will provide information in the newsletter, and during the Sunday announcements, about what is required to become a Prayer Chaplain.
So, should you have an inner urging that becoming a Prayer Chaplain and serving in this sacred way is right for you, stay tuned for more information and announcements.

5th Annual Pet Supply Collection
Sundays, January 13th and 20th
Daily Paws is excited to join with Nancy May for the 5th annual Party for Pets (Pet Supply Collection). We are blessed by the pets in our lives and want to be a blessing to our pets and all animals. Four years ago Nancy May requested her SpiritGroup donate to the Arlington Animal Shelter for her birthday. It has since turned into an annual charity event.
Let's show everyone at Arlington Animal Services what big hearts we have and how much we love animals. Let's show them our support as they work to find homes for stray dogs and cats (so they don't all end up at Rev. Anne's home!) They do wonderful work and can use our help. We will collect items on Sundays, January 13th and 20th. Bring your donation to the church and put it in the designated bins in the lobby. The donated items will be delivered to Arlington Animal Services.
Here is the list of requested items:
Newspapers
Bleach
Distilled white vinegar
Dawn dish soap
Windex
Paper towels
Canned kitten food (paté only)
Canned puppy food (paté only)-Authority brand
Washable cat and dog toys (Kong toys only. No chew toys.)
Old towels, blankets, pet beds, food bowls, etc., are also needed.
You can also make a monetary donation. Make checks payable to Arlington Animal Services. Put in an envelope and give to Dwain or Nancy May.
For more information on the Pet Supply Collection contact Nancy May.
For more information on how to be involved with Daily Paws Animal Ministry connect with Rev. Anne.

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
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
Spirit-Led:
Centered in the awareness of God's presence, we turn within for divine guidance in
all we do.
Love:
Love is our True Nature. We express the harmonizing power of love to
see good everywhere and in everybody. Love binds together the whole
human family.
Diversity:
We believe that all people are created with sacred worth. In a spirit of Unity,
we embrace each person as an expression of God grounded in truth and love.
Connection:
We live, love, and laugh from our Oneness with God. We honor our inter-connectedness with each other, with all life, and the earth.
Abundance:
God is our Infinite Source of Good. We gratefully demonstrate prosperity in all areas of our lives. We wisely use our wealth of resources to serve our spiritual community and the world.
Service:
We cultivate enlightened leadership by practicing the teachings of Jesus the Christ through sacred service. It is a blessing to serve locally and globally.
Integrity:
We consciously choose to practice living our Core Values and Unity Principles rather than simply professing them. We choose to communicate from the heart with authenticity and deliver on our commitments with reliability.
