Your Spiritual Path to Abundance
"The Spirit of Generosity"
Sunday, November 24, 2019
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
Did you know that giving and receiving are the same thing? This is true because they are simply different aspects of the same flow of energy! As we head into celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday, join Rev. Anne for the conclusion of her four-part talk series, Your Spiritual Path to Abundance, as we look at the powerful principles of how circulation keeps the flow of abundance alive and vital in all areas your life! In other words, as long as you are giving... you will be receiving.

Advent Week 1: Hope
"Keep Hope Alive"
Sunday, December 1, 2019
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
Hope is not about the facts... and it's not about blind positivity either. Hope is something buried deep within us--like a glowing ember--that recognizes the seemingly unbearable roadblocks and feelings of despair, but reaches for the future knowing that something better awaits because in the end it's all going to be okay. It is being able to see that the darkest times can also bring us to the brightest places! Join Rev. Anne for the first Sunday of Advent as we begin to prepare for the birth of the Christ within us all.

A Bear for Every Chair
Sunday, November 24th - December 15th, 2019
We are collecting stuffed animals each week through Sunday, December 15th, 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.
