"Blessed, Blessed, Blessed!"
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
It has been said, "Those who go against the grain of God's laws shouldn't complain when they get splinters!" After all, when we set into motion the cause of love and kindness, we can expect blessings in our lives. Yet, in his book, The Art of Abundance, Dennis Merritt Jones explains that there is a difference between counting your blessings and knowing that you are already blessed. Join Rev. Anne for the 3rd in her four-part series as we explore how accessing the principle of abundance will train your mind to be blessed.

Ten Rules for a Prosperous Life
Tuesdays:
November 6th, 13th,
20th, & 27th - Garden Lane Center
7pm - 9pm
Rev. Anne will lead this four-week book study to go along with her four-part Sunday talk series based on Dennis Merritt Jones' new book,
The Art of Abundance.
We all essentially want the same things: freedom, inner peace, and a life filled with purpose and meaning. This is true whether we're striving for better health, financial abundance, a stronger relationship, or a new job. Dennis Merritt
Jones explains that a life of wholeness and direction are well within our reach.
In The Art of Abundance, Jones offers a road map to draw us away from our comfort zones to truly see new perspectives of prosperity. His theme of constant encouragement inspires a greater flow of natural goodness in all areas of our lives and motivates us to live our best lives yet.
Jones teaches that moving from a life of "not enough" to "more than enough" isn't as challenging as you may think! Our book study will explore and practice these ten rules and help you discover a "Whole" new life!
Suggested Love Offering: $15/class.

"Creating An Abundant Life"
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
One of the biggest challenges in creating an abundant life is our tendency to over-complicate the process and buy into the fallacy that there's not enough to go around. But the good news is this: It's really not all that complicated! We each have the opportunity 24/7 to be a catalyst for good. Join Rev. Anne for the conclusion of our four-part talk series as she shares the role you can play in creating an abundant life that makes the world a better place for everyone.

A Bear for Every Chair
Sunday, November 25th - December 16th, 2018
We are collecting stuffed animals starting next Sunday, November 25th through Sunday, December 16th, to donate to the local police departments and shelters. The police use the animals when they find themselves dealing with tragedies and injuries involving children. When a child is in distress it is comforting to receive a small, cuddly animal to hug. By collecting them for several weeks congregants will have time to give lots of hugs and love to these little creatures of comfort before they are distributed to the children.
Loving on these stuffed critters is the next best thing to being able to comfort a child in person.
Let's fill up all the seats in the sanctuary with critters and pour our hugs and love into them on Sunday mornings
until we distribute them to the Dalworthington and Arlington Police Departments and SafeHaven Women's Shelter.

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 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.
