Experiencing doubt is normal. The history of doubt is as long as the history of thought! The question is: how do you triumph over it so it doesn’t get the best of you? Join Rev. Anne for the second in her three-part Sunday Message Series, Overcoming the Big Three: Fear ~ Doubt ~ Worry, to find out where doubt can lead you—and—what doubt can teach you.

Mark Twain said, “I’ve had a lot of worries in my life. Most of which never happened.” And this true—isn’t it! But what do you do when you’re going through an intense period of anguish over something and you just can’t seem to shake off your inner worry-wart? Join Rev. Anne for the conclusion of her Sunday Message Series, Overcoming the Big Three: Fear ~ Doubt ~ Worry, and she shares tried and true principles to transform your worry into living a much happier life. 
 
“Action! Action! Action!”

When you no longer allow fear, doubt or worry to hold you back, you live life differently. Unity's fifth principle reminds us that "Knowledge of these spiritual principles is not enough. We must live them." Tracy will encourage us to show up, stand up and speak up for a life that demonstrates spiritual principle in action.

When the news seems relentlessly bad, when you feel despair for the state of the world, when life seems to be changing every day and hope is hard to find… how can you turn within to reclaim your spiritual center? How can you work through the emotion to discern what is yours to do? How can you contribute peace and harmony to a volatile, divided group, family, or society?
 
Unity offers articles, videos, booklets, and more to support you. Whatever the specifics of the situation, it is possible to see through spiritual eyes and to rediscover your inner peace. We hope these ideas and spiritual tools will help and serve you as you navigate our ever-shifting world.

FOR THE COMMON GOOD
 
Why BA.5 is a Big Deal
 
Last Friday, Tarrant County's Covid-19 community level was raised to high just after we noted in our weekly newsletter that the level had gone from low to medium (tarrantcounty.com Covid information). In just over two months, Covid variant BA.5 outcompeted its predecessors to become the dominant cause of Covid-19 in the United States.
 
Last week, this subvariant caused almost 2 out of 3 new Covid-19 infections in this country, according to the latest data from the CDC.
 
As Americans have switched to more rapid at-home tests, official case counts -- currently hovering around 110,000 new infections a day -- reflect just a fraction of the true results. Experts estimate the true number of new infections could be as much as 7-10 times higher than the official counts (cnn.com, 7.14.22).
 
Stay vigilant about your health and well-being. Be mindful of others.

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.
