"Sparking Joy in Your SPIRIT"
Sunday, April 7, 2019

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!

Coloring for Relaxation & Meditation
Thursday, March 28th, 2019
7pm, Garden Lane Center

Coloring isn't just for kids! One of the reasons adult coloring books have become so popular is because they are a major stress-buster and tension reliever. Join Rev. Anne for a night of coloring for relaxation and meditation in a soothing and comfortable environment. We encourage you to bring your own coloring book and markers, but there will also be some sheets and supplies available. Sign up sheet in foyer. Love offering.

Membership Classes
Tuesdays, May 14th & May 21st
7pm-9pm in GLC, Rev. Anne Tabor

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! Membership is not required for attending services or serving at Unity of Arlington. However, we encourage it as a way for an individual to commit to his or her own spiritual growth, and make meaningful connections with like-minded people in faith.
 
Active members attend services regularly, participate in events, invest their time and talents in our church, attend classes, and contribute their financial gifts to Unity of Arlington. 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. 
 
Becoming a member culminates in a sacred blessing from our spiritual community during our celebration service on New Member Sunday, June 9, 2019, led by Reverend Anne Tabor. Please use the sheet in the sanctuary foyer or call the church office (817-467-5151) to add your name to the sign-up list. 

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.
