If you've ever attended a "Come As You Are" party you know that there are no real fashion faux pas or mistakes. Spiritually speaking, it is very similar in Unity. We believe that all people are created with sacred worth. And so you don't need to fret about trying to put a phony polish on your soul to walk through our doors. You are invited to come as you are, right where you are on your spiritual path. Join Rev. Anne for the 1st in her new four-part Summer Soul Series, Let the Sunshine In!, as we explore the spiritual principles that will help you bring more Love and Light into your life.

"Beach Body" And Other Fibs We Tell Ourselves
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor

Have you noticed how our society has cultivated a standard of pseudo beauty that no one can live up to? As if being flawless is the ideal. Not! These manufactured expectations from the outside world have nothing to do with embracing our divine authenticity and innate wholeness. In Truth, we are more than we believe ourselves to be and have more than enough power within to travel the journeys ahead. Join Rev. Anne for part two of her talk series, Let The Sunshine In!, as we uncover ways for you to practice using your divinely inspired thoughts and words to create the joyous experiences your heart truly desires.
Thursday, July 26th, 2018
Healing Service
"There's a Healin' Goin' On!"
7pm, Rev. Anne Tabor

Join us for a healing service and worship experience that offers you restoration of mind, body, and soul, through loving music, a short message, and a lengthy time of prayer & meditation. Our healing service is designed to help you deepen your sense of well-being and expand your awareness of your innate wholeness as you move forward on your spiritual 
 journey.  We look forward to sharing this sacred space with you.

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

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 interconnectedness 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.
