| "And So We Pray"  11 am, Rev. Rebecca Rickey Prayer Ministry Sunday Installation of Prayer Chaplains Sanctuary & Livestream on Facebook   There are many ways to pray, and prayer is very important. Answer this: How do you react when someone in the group says, “Let’s pray about that!”? Do you feel expectant relief or queasy discomfort? Do you want to politely excuse yourself or do you step right up and join hands? Affirmative Prayer, as practiced in Unity, deepens our personal connection to and awareness of the Divine within us. Prayer is the foundation of Unity and a core ministry at Unity of Arlington. Join hands with us on Prayer Ministry Sunday as we install our new group of Prayer Chaplains and take a look at how the practice of “Affirmative Prayer” can add new depth and awareness to your spiritual life. |  |

| "Putting Your Ducks in a Row"  11 am, Rev. Lari Goold Installation of Prayer Chaplains Sanctuary & Livestream on Facebook   I often say that all is in Divine Order yet when I look around me, I don’t see it.  Once again, when I believe it, I will see it.  In the meantime, it is my responsibility to create order in my own life.  If I can’t experience order there, I certainly cannot see it in my outer world.  It all begins with me (darn it!!).  Let’s talk about creating order in our lives and aligning with Divine Order. |  |

| YOUR COMMUNITY Opportunities and Upcoming Events |  |  
| 
| It is time for the 32nd Annual Unity World Day of Prayer!   At a time in our world when prayer is so very important, this event focuses on spiritual connection, the power of collective affirmative prayer and the importance of connecting with the divine within.   On Sept. 10 and 11th, people worldwide will join in a 24-hour prayer vigil, knowing that we can never be separate from God and involves prayer, meditation, and affirmations.   At Unity of Arlington, we will be celebrating in two very special ways. First, on Wed., Sept. 10 at 7pm, we will gather in the sanctuary to enjoy the online opening day celebration together as a spiritual community with “two of our very own,” keynote speaker Tracy Brown and musician Kit Holmes.   If you are unable to attend with us in person, you may also register for free at http://bit.ly/4fNGDpl   Second, on Thurs., Sept. 11 from 12noon to 6pm, we will hold a prayer vigil in the sanctuary. This is a time for holding sacred space in silent prayer and reflection on this year’s theme is Be Still and Know. The affirmation: In the stillness, I awaken to divine wisdom.   You may sign up for the in person prayer vigil on the sign up sheet at the back of the church.  |  |
