"15 Minutes with Robin Williams"
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
Imagine spending a few personal moments with one of the most innovative, talented, and creative actors of all time. Rev. Anne had such an opportunity with the late Robin Williams while he was a guest star on a television series she was working on during her former career as a producer. The experience left an exciting and profound impact on her. Join Rev. Anne as she shares a unique and inspiring message about the colorful insights she gleaned from this conversation of a lifetime.

"You've Got A Friend"
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
It has been said that a good friend will try to bail you out of jail, but a best friend will be in a cell next to you saying, "Wow! That was fun!" While Rev. Anne's talk "You've Got A Friend" is not an invitation to conduct any kind of illegal activity, she will
walk us through the markings of true spiritual friendship and what it looks like to cultivate these kinds of precious relationships in our lives. You don't want to miss this special message about the joys of friendship!

Friendship Sunday
Sunday, August 19th, 2018, 11am
We have such an amazing spiritual community here at Unity of Arlington!
Many of us leave our Sunday Celebration Services wishing that our good friend or family member had been with us to bask in the Love and Light that we share here.
We want them to feel the same warmth and sense of connection that we do.
Now is the perfect opportunity to ask those friends and family members in your life:
"Would you like to come with me to church?"
So often, they're just waiting for the invitation!

 Unity of Arlington is Celebrating our 44th Anniversary!
On August 9, 1974, Marie Loynachan and her husband, Keith, started a book study group that evolved into Unity of Arlington. Marie had the support and encouragement of her mentor, Rev. Dr. Donald Curtis, from Unity of Dallas. She says he never let her doubt that she was on the right path and through the years her perseverance, her early morning prayers of affirmation, and her continued greetings each week at the front doors of our church mean that, 44 years later, we have much to celebrate! And we will do so by gathering together after our service on Sunday morning, September 16, in the Garden Lane Center. We will also be celebrating Rev. Anne Tabor's third anniversary at Unity of Arlington!
The Hospitality Team has been meeting to plan this special event and invites you to mark your calendar to join us in sharing laughter, memories, and good food! A sign up sheet will soon be in the foyer so you may indicate which dishes you would like to bring to the festivities (finger foods such as assorted trays of vegetables or cheese, sandwiches, salads, chips and dip, cookies, etc. will all be welcome!). Light beverages will be provided. We look forward to seeing you there!

Books Needed
for Young Readers
We are fortunate that we receive a steady supply of literature for adults for the Little Free Library, but rarely do we receive books for some of the more voracious readers in the community...children. Most of us remember with fondness a special book from our youth that opened our minds and hearts to new ideas and understanding. Do you, or perhaps someone you know, have children's books available for donation? Please see what you might be able to share and drop them off at the Administration Building.

T

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 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.
