YOUR COMMUNITY
Opportunities and Upcoming Events
 
At some point, we all will have a healing need. When that time comes, prayer, meditation, and other spiritual tools help us realize our own healing power within.
 
If you haven’t already, we encourage you to order a copy of our new booklet:
 
Whether physical, mental, or emotional, the booklet addresses all forms of healing. Stories and essays from some of your favorite New Thought writers focus on remarkable healings of their own.
Thank you for trusting in our ministry to join you throughout both life’s joys and struggles. It is a privilege to support you on your journey. Whatever you are experiencing today, may In the Flow of Healing empower you to realize your inner strength, courage, and calm to move forward confidently.
 
Blessings of healing and wholeness,
Your Friends in Unity
 
Unity Principles Freed Me From Fear
by Shelly Wilson
 
As children, we are conditioned to accept what our parents believe, often including their religious beliefs. I was raised Baptist and remember attending church regularly as a child—being saved and baptized.
 
However, I never felt as if I had to go to church to connect with God. Rather, God was within me, so I could connect with God anywhere. I knew God definitely was not a man in the sky eagerly waiting to punish me for my sins. And I firmly believed that hell did not exist in the sense that it was preached, since people could be living in perceived hell while on earth.

Being curious about other Christian denominations as a teenager, I chose to attend a few services with friends at their churches. Years later, I began my own spiritual journey into consciousness in earnest. Unity principles first came into my awareness when I attended a class at Unity Church of Overland Park, Kansas, in 2009. I gravitated toward Unity teachings and was eager to learn more. The discoveries freed me from fear-based religious oppression and have given me courage to forge ahead on my path of learning.

We would love to pray with you.

CDC streamlines COVID-19 guidance
to help the public better protect themselves
and understand their risk
(released August 11, 2022, 2pm CDT, cdc.gov)
 
Today, CDC is streamlining its COVID-19 guidance to help people better understand their risk, how to protect themselves and others, what actions to take if exposed to COVID-19, and what actions to take if they are sick or test positive for the virus.
 
COVID-19 continues to circulate globally, however, with so many tools available to us for reducing COVID-19 severity, there is significantly less risk of severe illness, hospitalization and death compared to earlier in the pandemic.

“We’re in a stronger place today as a nation, with more tools—like vaccination, boosters, and treatments—to protect ourselves, and our communities, from severe illness from COVID-19,” said Greta Massetti, PhD, MPH, MMWR author.

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.
