"Stronger Than You Think "
Sunday, September 1, 2019
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor

The lyrics in Leonard Cohen's song "Anthem" offer us the profound insight that "There's a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in." However, instead of embracing the cracks, we often choose to use a variety of masks to protect ourselves and guard against being vulnerable. But there is no "get out of vulnerability free card!" Fortunately, there are strategies to help us feel capable of taking risks. After all, if the crack is how the light gets in ... it's also how light gets out! Join Rev. Anne for the conclusion of her message series based on Brené Brown's book, Daring Greatly, as we look at how to show up and lower our vulnerability shields to let ourselves be seen.


Suggested Reading: Daring Greatly , by Bren é  Brown.

"Work Is Love Made Visible "
Sunday, September 8, 2019
11am, Rev. Jeanie Brosius King, Guest Speaker

Join Rev. Jeanie on the importance of infusing your life's work with love and joy. Even if your official working days are over, everything you 
do is your work.
 
The premise is: Khalil Gibran's "Work is love made visible and if you cannot work with love, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy."
 
BIO
Rev. Jeanie Brosius King served as Senior Minister at Unity of Richardson, TX, for eight years and is a sought after speaker and teacher. She and her husband, Dr. Joe King, live in Junction, TX, in the Hill Country, where they own a veterinary clinic and kennel and have built and operated a winery and bistro.
 
UPCOMING EVENTS
Jeanie is the co-founder of B-NOW, The Beautiful Network of Women and offers weekend retreats, the next of which is October 11-14, 2019, on the famous San Antonio Riverwalk. She also is the host of B-NOW RADIO where amazing women share their stories and life's work. 
 
Jeanie's latest book, "GIDDY UP GIRL - What Are You Waiting For? " is being published and will be available in paperback and on Kindle. Her book launch party is planned for the B-NOW WOMEN'S RETREAT next month.
"Take It Into Prayer "
Sunday, September 15, 2019
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor

In honor of Unity World Day of Prayer, join Rev. Anne as we explore what it means to really understand the power of affirmative prayer. So often, we may feel like our prayers are not being heard or answered. Like prayer doesn't work. But there is a very simple answer to these kinds of questions and it's easier than you think! You don't want to miss this inspiring message about how to deepen your prayer practice and lighten your load along your spiritual path.

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.
