From the Minister
Dear Friends,
I’ll be “doing church” online one more Sunday before my hiatus time begins next week. Originally, I intended to be on sabbatical for one month last summer, but with the pandemic it was best to postpone. Now I’m looking forward to some rest, renewal, and rejuvenation.
This has me thinking about summer reads.
Many of you know that I’m committed to dismantling racism and doing racial literacy work. This week I completed facilitating a seven-week program for The Anti-Racism Institute founded by Rev. Wendy Craig-Purcell.
Our main focus was working with a YouTube series that went viral last year called “Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man.” It was created by former NFL player Emmanuel Acho. In fact, he started it one year ago this month.
His purpose is to have “uncomfortable conversations” with white America to help bridge the gap of education and information on the topics of racism and social injustice. But truth be told, I think he has a real gift for making the uncomfortable, comfortable. And so, trust me… there’s something in it for everyone.
Mr. Acho also wrote a book about it called—you guessed it!—“Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man.” It is well written and easy to read. This is why some folks refer to it as an urgent primer on race and racism.
And so, if you’re looking for a good summer read remember to check it out.
There is much for which to be hopeful. We are the ones.
In Love and Unity,
Rev. Anne Tabor

FaithLift 106:
“Meet It With Faith!”
Sunday, June 27, 2021
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
*Facebook Live
Over and over again we see people go through difficult circumstances yet they come out the other side with rock-solid faith. While we wouldn’t eagerly sign up for these types of challenges they do seem to be the ones that strengthen our faith the most. In her book, Meet It with Faith, Martha Smock writes, “Any one of us can look back on life and recall how something that seemed a great disappointment at the time turned out to be a blessing in disguise.” Join Rev. Anne as she shares with us how to meet these pivotal moments with faith!

Independence Day
“Freedom Comes With Responsibility You See”
Sunday, July 4, 2021
11am, Rev. Kelly Isola, Guest Speaker
*Facebook Live
Generally we think of freedom as release from restraint, burden. In Unity we may think of freedom as releasing error thoughts or lightening our load. We like to claim our freedom, but freedom from what or whom? And while there are certainly times when it is necessary to dismantle bonds or entanglements to regain the health of freedom, mostly, when we can put things together instead of taking things apart, we are offered a way to befriend what is timeless and enduring. Perhaps our challenge is to look to the bottom of what-is, rather than to keep searching for what needs releasing. At any moment, we can feel shuttered or free, we can separate further or belong to each other. When we can accept that we are not alone, freedom becomes more of a dance among the living.

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.
