Daring Greatly
"The Courage to Be Love
"
Sunday, August 18, 2019
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
The great Sufi poet Rumi taught, "Your task is not to seek love, but to merely seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." Join Rev. Anne for the 2nd in her four-part talk series based on the book, Daring Greatly, as we explore Brené Brown's practice of how to debunk and demystify the major myths about vulnerability. HINT: we all experience times in our lives when we feel emotionally exposed ... and ... we can all be loved for our vulnerabilities, not despite them!

Daring Greatly

 Daring Greatly
"No Shame in the Game
"
Sunday, August 25, 2019
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
"Gremlin Ninja Warrior training"... this is the phrase Brené Brown uses to describe her studies on understanding shame and practicing shame resilience. Yes, shame can be tough to talk about. We all feel that way. But this conversation isn't nearly as risky as what we're creating with our silence! Join Rev. Anne for part three of her message series based on, Daring Greatly, as we wrap our heads and hearts around using the essential skills to get past experiences of shame so that we can get on about the business of truly living our lives!
Please join us for a time of fellowship and light refreshments immediately after the service in the Sanctuary.

| World Day of Prayer 2019 - Invitation |
|
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.
