Spiritual Spring Cleaning: Tidying Up Your Heart, Mind, and Spirit
"Sparking Joy in Your MIND"
Some 2,500 years ago the Buddha said, "All that we are is the result of what we have thought." In the 2nd of our three-part talk series, Spiritual Spring Cleaning: Tidying Up Your Heart, Mind, and Spirit, we will explore the simple practice of creating more harmony in your thoughts, words, and actions. Join Rev. Anne to find out how sparking joy in your mind will lead to a life of prosperity and everything good!
Please join us for a time of fellowship and light refreshments immediately after the service in the sanctuary.

Spiritual Spring Cleaning: Tidying Up Your Heart, Mind, and Spirit
"Sparking Joy in Your SPIRIT"
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope." That is a tall order considering the times in which we live. However, it is absolutely, positively, one hundred percent possible! And Dr. King knew that. Join Rev. Anne for the conclusion of her three-part talk series, Spiritual Spring Cleaning: Tidying Up Your Heart, Mind, and Spirit, as we look at the transformational mechanics of how to spark infinite hope and joy in your spirit!

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.

Our Lost and Found is not exactly legendary, but If you are missing something like a scarf or a shawl it might have been turned in for safe keeping in the Administration Office. We have a varied collection of items in the file cabinet so if there's something you've been missing it might just be that it is here, waiting to be found.

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.
