 Easter Sunday
Easter Bonnet Sunday
"The Sun Will Rise"
Sunday, April 12
, 2020
11am CT, Rev. Anne Tabor
In the traditional sense, Easter celebrates the resurrection of Jesus. However, the spiritual significance is something we can all relate to. After all, you may have experienced a time in your life when you felt like you were entombed in darkness, and then... the dawn of a new day helped you see the light! Why? Because the other side of crucifixion is always the new life of resurrection. Join Rev. Anne as she reminds us that the story of Easter is actually a spiritual blueprint to show us that something good can come from our most trying circumstances.

Change is inevitable. It is also a process. Right now, in a time when we need it most, Robert Brumet's book, Finding Yourself in Transition, helps us cope with overcoming the enormous personal, social, and economic changes that are occurring in our world and within our own lives. Join Rev. Anne for her three-part Sunday Message Series based on this Unity classic to help explore the spiritual opportunities found in gracefully navigating life's changes.

 Book Study - Finding Yourself in Transition
Thursdays, April 23rd, April 30th,

Rev. Anne Tabor
Joyous and challenging, the one constant in life is change. Change is inevitable. Indeed, we are always in a place of transition in some aspect of our lives--this is especially true now as we grow through a global pandemic. The focus of our book study is how to navigate the process of change as an opportunity for transformation and spiritual awakening.
Rev. Anne will be leading this three-week book study to
follow along with her three-part Sunday Message Series based on Robert Brumet's book,
Finding Yourself in Transition: Using Life's Changes for Spiritual Awakening.
Suggested Love Offering: $15/class

Tools for Difficult Times
Spiritual Resources to Calm Anxiety
in Times of Stress, Loss, and Grief
Each of us faces times of high stress, anxiety, loss, and grief. During health crises, economic downturns, and more, we experience these stresses together.
In these times of stress, it's important to prioritize mental and spiritual health as best we can.
The Unity team has compiled a
list of resources to help you overcome fear, find moments of courage and peace, and support you in times of change.

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.

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.
