From the Minister
Dear Friends,
Twenty-three years ago tomorrow David and I married at All Saints Episcopal Church in Beverly Hills. It still makes me chuckle that we got married in the heart of Hollywood. But at the time… this was our church. And it was perfect.
I remember it like it was yesterday. We had a small ceremony in the lovely stain-glassed chapel surrounded by a few close friends and family. The Reverend Canon Anne Tumilty officiated our wedding with the beauty and grace of an angel. It was perfect.
Then we had an exquisite sit-down dinner at Joe’s on Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice. Even though we’d inadvertently given our guests the wrong directions to the restaurant they found us anyway! And a great big belly laugh was enjoyed by all over our little snafu. (I’m not sure but I think the endless flow of Veuve Clicquot may have had something to do with the giggles). It was perfect.
The years since then have included many plot twists and turns. Looking back we had no clue, of course, that I would answer my call to ministry at age
50—proving once and for all that God really does have a sense of humor.
We’ve experienced challenges, adversity and sacrifices. We’ve also had ridiculous amounts of joy, laughter and incredible adventures. That’s how life works. Our faith plays a huge role in our coupleship. In how we love each
other—how we pray for each other—and how we lift each other up.
I want you to know that I am so grateful to David for deeply loving me these 23 plus years. To this day he is the most handsome man in the room and I still want to get to know him better! And it is his support and encouragement that makes it possible for me to be in ministry.
And so, here’s to Love in action! And continuing to discover there’s no one I’d rather spend time with than him.
In Love and Unity,
Rev. Anne Tabor

FaithLift 104:
Father's Day
“Every Man's Faith”
Sunday, June 20, 2021
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
*Facebook Live
Join us online this Father’s Day as we celebrate all fathers and the divine idea of fatherly love. Rev. Anne continues her FaithLift series this week with a special look at the part our spiritual practices (especially the ones we were taught—or not!—growing up) play in the development of our faith. After all, many of our attitudes today are a reflection of the way we were raised. And what began as an “ought to” became a “want to.”

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 under-standing 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.
