Your Spiritual Path to Abundance
"The Key to Abundance"
Sunday, November 3, 2019
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor

It has been said that abundance isn't something we acquire; it's something we tune into. After all, God can do no more for you than God can do through you. And so, the crucial questions become... How do we open ourselves to abundance? Is faith or fear guiding my way? What is the key to my spiritual awakening? Join Rev. Anne for the first in her four-part Sunday Fall Series, Your Spiritual Path to Abundance, as we explore what it means to develop an abundance consciousness which will open the floodgates to even more good in your life!
Your Spiritual Path to Abundance
"The Power of Intention"
Sunday, November 10, 2019
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor

Did you know that the inflow of new thoughts can remake you? It's true! You can just as easily think your way to success and happiness as you can failure and unhappiness. The difference comes down to the power of setting your intention--meaning the very simple act of identifying what you most want--to prepave the pathway. Join Rev. Anne for the second in her four-part talk series, Your Spiritual Path to Abundance, to find out what can help you smooth the way to a future you do want instead of creating one by default that you don't want.

Unity of Arlington is a loving, thriving spiritual community that welcomes all people and honors all paths to enlightenment. We would love to have you join as an official member!

Members also participate in voting on important church matters. Classes required for membership are offered in two parts and will cover:  Unity Basics, Unity Prayer, and Membership Basics. There will also be a time for questions and discussion. To become a member, attendance is required at both classes.

   WARM FUZZIES
A Unity of Arlington SpiritGroup Service Project

It's time to share warmth from our hearts to help others,
With gloves, hats, and scarves for our sisters and brothers;
Let's gather coats, jackets and warm socks, too,
All donations welcome, gently used and new!

Please bring your donations for the next three Sundays to put in the collection boxes at the back of the Sanctuary. SpiritGroup volunteers will distribute them to those in need on Sat. Nov. 23.

If you have questions, please contact Glenda Thompson at [email protected].  Thank you for opening your hearts to Spirit's loving outreach!

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

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.
