“Is Happiness All It's Cracked Up to Be?”

Rev. Anne Tabor

11am CT | Sanctuary & Livestream

 

Every enlightened faith tradition teaches that now is the most abundant moment in your life. Not the past, not the future, but now. Be that as it may, this begs the question: In a world that is seemingly filled with so much suffering and sorrow… how are we supposed to be happy?

 

Join Rev. Anne for a new three-part Sunday Message Series, Happiness Tidbits to Transform Your Life. In part one, we’ll explore the basics of what happiness truly is and how you can apply for your own personal passport to take you there!

Tidbit #2:

“When Happiness Drives You Crazy...”

Rev. Anne Tabor

11am CT | Sanctuary & Livestream

 

Let’s be honest. The search for happiness can feel down right exhausting at times. After all, life can be trying. And given your personal circumstances, you might even think happiness will elude you forever… like it’s a million miles away! But did you know happiness is a spiritual path?

 

Join Rev. Anne for the 2nd in our three-part series Happiness Tidbits to Transform Your Life to discover the steps you can take to heal unhappiness.

Prayer Chaplain Information Meeting NaOra Horton and Theresa Riggs

Sunday, April 30, 2023, at 1pm

 

We are all blessed to be called to many areas of sacred service within our church community. Being a prayer chaplain is a calling, a commitment to prayer for and with others. So, what is being a prayer chaplain all about? What does it entail?

 

Our prayer chaplains are offering an introductory meeting on Sunday,

April 30, at 1pm, right after church service. We’ll be serving light refreshments and providing insights into the sacred calling of prayer chaplaincy. If you feel that God might be whispering this calling into your heart, please pick up a brochure for more details and sign up for this introductory meeting.

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.
