 Unity in a Nutshell #5:
"Living Unity"
Sunday, February 10, 2019
There is no greater point in our lifetime than right now to be living unity. Margaret Mead famously said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." Well, we are the ones we've been waiting for and now is the time! Join Rev. Anne for the conclusion of her Sunday Message Series, "Unity in a Nutshell 2019," as we explore our fifth principle and how it is not enough to know and understand these spiritual laws; we must actually live the Truth we know.

"Things Are Not Always as They Seem"
Sunday, February 17, 2019
11am, Rev. Lari Goold, Guest Speaker
Let's talk about how our minds work and follow the patterns we have placed there through both conscious and unconscious thinking and how to change those patterns. Our goal is to move from the thinking pattern of "I'll believe it when I see it" to "I'll see it when I believe it."
Rev. Lari retired as Senior Minister at the Celebration of Life Center for Spiritual Living in Irving in 2017. She has been our guest speaker several times since then and continues to be a guest speaker at other New Thought churches in the region.
A student and teacher of metaphysics for over 45 years, Rev. Lari is passionate about the truth teachings of all the mystics and philosophers and continues to look for ways and opportunities to share them. She is grateful for a deepening friendship with Rev. Anne here at Unity of Arlington, and feels a heart connection with this community.

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.
