“Livin' High on the Hog”
Sunday, May 29, 2022

Hybrid Service (online and in-person)
 
Is “Livin’ high on the hog” a good thing? Join Rev. Anne for the conclusion of her five-part series, Simple Southern Spirituality, and the real meaning behind living your best life. Even with all of life’s major plot twists and turns, it’s never too late to redefine what matters most.

11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
Hybrid Service (online and in-person)
 
We are always using our Power of Imagination. Your mind is like a blank canvas just waiting for you to paint a visual picture! The question is… how are you using it? One little spark of your imagination can help you feel up—or—down. Join Rev. Anne as she explores the principles behind how to use your imagination to bring forth a positive vision for your life.
 
“Come Into This House”
Sunday, June 12, 2022
11am, Rev. Lari Goold, Guest Speaker
Hybrid Service (online and in-person)
 
We of the Spirit Realm find nothing to compare since all is from the One Life, the Life that is God’s Life, the Life that is Perfect and the Life that is My Life now. We of the human realm find ourselves comparing ourselves to others, our lives to others and our experiences to others which results in feeling unhappy, low self-worth, depressed, ad infinitum! Let’s explore living in the Fourth Dimension/Spirit Realm and experiencing joy that is our Divine Birthright.

Opportunities and Upcoming Events
 
Memorial Day
Monday, May 30th
 
Memorial Day was originally known as Decoration Day. It originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971 to honor those who gave their lives in service. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings, and participating in parades to honor those who died while serving U.S. military. Unofficially, it marks the beginning of summer.
 
For Your Prayerful Consideration:
Donation Possibilities to Help Uvalde Families
If you have questions, please contact the organization.
 
The school district in Uvalde has opened an official account with First State Bank of Uvalde to support Robb Elementary families affected by the tragedy. People can send checks through the mail (payable to the "Robb School Memorial Fund", P.O. Box 799, Uvalde, Texas 78802 ) or donate money through Zelle to robbschoolmemorialfund@gmail.com
 
GoFundMe has established an online hub of verified fundraisers supporting victims and loved ones affected by the shooting, which you can find here.
 
The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) has created a fund for victims and survivors, and says 100% of contributions will go directly to their families. "Where 90 percent of the students of Robb Elementary School identify as Hispanics and more than four-fifths are economically disadvantaged, this community NEEDS our collective prayers, help, and support," the group wrote.
 
United Way of San Antonio and Bexar County
To support the Uvalde community in this time of crisis, United Way of San Antonio and Bexar County has created the United With Uvalde Fund to support the victims’ families and the community. 100% of the fund will support the Uvalde community with immediate and long-term mental health resources. We will also make sure that the fund helps with any emerging needs identified by our nonprofit partners on the ground in Uvalde now. Visit
www.unitedwithuvalde.org to make a monetary donation

From the Carter BloodCare Center of Fort Worth: Every month in 2022 is a lifesaving month. Maintaining a healthy community blood supply is our mission and we could not do that without your support. To thank our donors we have the following gifts to show our appreciation to them:
 
July/August – Beach towels
September/October – Cancer Awareness Socks in support of childhood and breast cancer
November/December – Fleece Blanket
 
The need for blood is constant. Currently Fort Worth has a stable supply of most blood types but an urgent need of A- and platelets and a critical need of O- and B-.

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.
