From the Minister
Dear Unity Friends,
We are only a few days into the New Year. Yet like many of you, I am horrified by the assault that took place on our nation’s Capital yesterday. This isn’t supposed to happen in America. But it did.
And so, we need to be very mindful of continuing to say things like, “This isn’t who we are.” Why? Because we cannot change what we do not acknowledge.
So let us start by recognizing this Divine Idea: Words matter. Your words matter. The words that come out of the mouths of our leaders matter. They can incite violence or they can inspire hope. Sadly, the treacherous acts yesterday fall into the former category… not the latter.
Shortly before his passing last summer, John Lewis (known for getting into “good trouble”), wrote an opinion piece in which he talked about redeeming the soul of our nation. He said, “I urge you to answer the highest calling of your heart and stand up for what you truly believe.”
This is our moment to take stock and take a stand. Not just about what we’ve allowed ourselves to become, but who we truly believe we are—and can be—as we write the next chapter in our history. We are all responsible for what happens next.
There is much for which to be hopeful. We are the ones.
In Love and Unity,
Rev. Anne Tabor

Unity in a Nutshell #2:
“Born Fine, the First Time”
Sunday, January 17, 2021
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
*Facebook Live
Unity Principle #2: Human beings have a spark of divinity within them, the Christ Spirit within. Their very essence is of God, and therefore they are also inherently good.
Given the trying times we are living in, this spiritual principle in particular is relevant—and—it can be a theological challenge! After all, if we are expressions of God… why do people behave so badly? Join Rev. Anne as she continues her back-to-basics Sunday Message Series, “Unity in a Nutshell 2021,” and we explore what it means to be made in the image and likeness of God.

More Than Half of Covid Spread
Comes From People Without Symptoms
Nearly 60 percent of all Covid-19 spread may come from people with no symptoms, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published Thursday, January 7, 2021.
Using mathematical modeling, CDC researchers estimated that 35 percent of Covid-19 spread is from people who are contagious before they develop symptoms, called presymptomatic transmission. Another 24 percent comes from people who are truly asymptomatic, and never go on to develop symptoms.
Such widespread asymptomatic transmission means that simply identifying and isolating people who have symptoms of Covid-19 "will not control the ongoing spread of SARS-CoV-2," the virus that causes Covid-19, the study authors wrote.
Rather, the findings mean that everyday behaviors to mitigate the spread of the virus are even more critical:
- Wear a mask, and wear it properly, with both nose and mouth covered..
- Wash hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
- Avoid touching your face.
- Protect coughs by coughing and sneezing into your elbow and/or a tissue.
- Frequently clean surfaces that are often touched, especially doorknobs, door frames, telephones, keyboards, and bathroom areas.
- Use hand sanitizer.
- Stay home if you are not feeling well.

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.
