Advent Week 2: Peace
"Peace of Mind"
Sunday, December 8, 2019
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
If you want to live in a peaceful world then you must be willing to show up as a peaceful person, with a peaceful mind, and a peaceful heart. But you may be questioning how to find peace of mind in the midst of stressful times when it appears things are spinning out of control? So often, this seems impossible! Join Rev. Anne for the second Sunday of Advent as we learn how to embrace the Divine Idea, as did Jesus, "Peace, be still."

 A Bear for Every Chair
Collection through
Sunday, 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.

New Study Group on
A Course in Miracles to begin in January 2020
A Course in Miracles
is a book scribed by Helen Schucman. At the time of her writing, Ms. Schucman was a professor of Medical Psychology at Columbia University. The content was given to her by an inner Voice she identified as Jesus. Ms. Schucman writes, "Its only purpose is to provide a way in which some people will be able to find their own Internal Teacher."
The curriculum that the Course provides is a step-by-step approach to apply the principles. It emphasizes application rather than theory, and experience rather than theology.
The lessons do not require a lot of time nor long practice periods, but they do require a willingness to see things differently--through the eyes of God.
It can be summed up in this way: "Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God."
The Course has been offered at Unity of Arlington for more than 15 years. A new study group will be forming in late January 2020 to focus on the lessons and text found in A Course in Miracles. The exact start date will be announced at a later time. Please contact June Alexander for more details and information:
(817) 572-2532.
June will also be available for questions on Sundays in December after the11am service.

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.
