A Prayer for the Time Capsule Burial by Rev. Anne Tabor

Time Capsule Unity of Arlington"We are grateful for 45 years of ministry here at Unity of Arlington. 
In honor of the One Presence and One Power of God the Good, we 
bury our Time Capsule in the ground for future generations to find.

We do so honoring the love, the time, the energy, and the hutzpah it 
took for all of us to arrive here in this sacred moment, for this Divine
 Appointment… knowing that each of us is acting as a human Time
 Capsule carrying the legacy of this beloved spiritual community
 forward.

Let this moment remain in our hearts as a reminder that it is upon us 
to ensure that we continue to put in the love, the time, the energy,
 and the hutzpah to pass along to our future generations a strong, 
joyful, and loving spiritual family.

One that stands the test of time. One that welcomes all. One that, 20
 years from now, will be able to open this very Time Capsule and say: “Thank you, God!”

And so it is. Amen."


Unity CEO Jim Blake shared a special message with us for our anniversary.
