From the Minister
Dear Friends,
What a difference a year makes.
One year ago today, the W.H.O. (World Health Organization) did something so surreal—that quite honestly—I’m still adjusting because it was beyond anything I thought we would experience… at least not in my lifetime. What did they do? They confirmed the outbreak of COVID-19 as a global pandemic.
As of this writing, there have been over 529,000 deaths in the United States alone. Which is why it has been said that one in three Americans knows someone who died of coronavirus. I certainly do. And you probably do, too.
And so, I invite you now to take a moment of silence in honor of these precious souls and remember to also hold the loved ones left behind in your prayers.
It’s interesting. We’ve heard words like “unprecedented,” “chaotic,” and “exhausting” to describe this era. And as tired as we are of hearing this, we all know it has been a year like no other.
Now that the vaccine is offering a “shot of hope,” we’re starting to hear more optimism and gratitude for the new direction we are heading, especially for the scientists and frontline workers.
And so, if you know an essential worker, I invite you to go show them some LOVE for all they have done and continue to do to get us on the other side of this pandemic!
One of the things we can do to honor all life is to follow the guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control: Get a COVID-19 vaccine; wear a mask; socially distance; avoid crowds and poorly ventilated spaces.
After all, the pandemic isn’t over just because you’re over it. Stay committed to being a part of the solution.
There is much for which to be hopeful. We are the ones.
In Love and Unity,
Rev. Anne Tabor

#3 - “The Question of Wisdom”
Sunday, March 14, 2021
11am CT, Rev. Anne Tabor
*Facebook Live
Your life is an intricate tapestry of experiences from the past, your current state of affairs, and your dreams of the future. The inevitable truth is… you are going to end up somewhere in life. Why not ask yourself a catalytic question to help pave the way to being somewhere on purpose instead in a pitfall of regret! Join Rev. Anne for the conclusion of her message series 3 Quality Questions: Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself, as we explore what it means to make wise choices. In all circumstances, there is a wise thing to do. This is one of the most important questions of all.

Spring has sprung! A new day has dawned! The seasons have switched! And it’s time to get our HOLY ON! What you say? You don’t know how? Guess again.

Kelly in discovering how to practice your HOLY more intentionally, with gratitude, wisdom and compassion

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.
