"Hold Your Spiritual Horses"
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
Your God-given power of choice is always in the present moment. It's one of your greatest gifts in life! But so often we get caught up in the power struggles of the world instead of pausing for a moment to step into our own authentic power. Join Rev. Anne as she takes a closer look at how to identify our own sacred sense of security and wholeness from a place of inner peace instead of chaos. You have more power than you think!

Animal Blessing
Saturday, October 6th, 2018
10-12pm
The Blessing of Animals is a service offered in honor of St. Francis of Assisi's love for all creatures. This year, a tent will be set up and our Animal Blessing will take place on the wonderful grounds of Unity of Arlington. All are invited to bring their pets to be blessed. To ensure safety, we ask that you have your pet on a leash or in a carrier so that all get along peacefully. We also bless pictures of your pets for those who have transitioned or are not able to attend.
Spread the word and invite friends and neighbors to bring their pets, too! Love offerings appreciated.
Additional Info:
As a memento, all pets will receive a "Certificate of Blessing."
There will be informal pet photography during the event.
We will also accept items to be donated to Arlington Animal Shelter. A drop area will be designated for toys, cat food (pate only for the kittens), distilled white vinegar, non-clumping cat litter, Windex & paper towels, chlorine bleach, pump garden sprayers, quart size zip lock baggies, and gently used blankets and towels.

a deeper understanding of themselves and their divine power within to solve life's challenges.

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.
