"Things Are Not Always as They Seem"
Sunday, February 17, 2019
11am, Rev. Lari Goold, Guest Speaker

Let's talk about how our minds work and follow the patterns we have placed there through both conscious and unconscious thinking and how to change those patterns. Our goal is to move from the thinking pattern of "I'll believe it when I see it" to "I'll see it when I believe it."
 
Rev. Lari retired as Senior Minister at the Celebration of Life Center for Spiritual Living in Irving in 2017. She has been our guest speaker several times since then and continues to be a guest speaker at other New Thought churches in the region.
 
A student and teacher of metaphysics for over 45 years, Rev. Lari is passionate about the truth teachings of all the mystics and philosophers and continues to look for ways and opportunities to share them. She is grateful for a deepening friendship with Rev. Anne here at Unity of Arlington, and feels a heart connection with this community.
"Do Not Worry"
Sunday, February 24, 2019
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor

"Do not worry about your life" is one of the most powerful teachings from our Master Teacher and WayShower, Jesus. It sounds so simple, but it is not always easy! After all, is it really possible to not worry? What does that even mean? Do you add anything to the quality of your life by worrying and fretting? Join Rev. Anne as we take a deeper look at the spiritual practice of "do not worry."

Youth and Family Ministry (YFM) Volunteer Opportunities
 
Here is an opportunity for you to be a part of the joy and love that happens every Sunday in our Sunday School classes. This is an opportunity for you to make a difference in the lives of our children. We are in need of teachers, substitutes, and welcomers. Teachers and substitutes are needed for all age levels. The welcomer position is making name tags for the children, 10:45am to 11:05am. Scheduling is flexible, and training is provided. To volunteer or for more information please contact YFM Director, Janette Jordan at 817-832-6251, janettejordan1981@gmail.com.
YFM Needs Your Old Magazines

Do you have piles of magazines sitting around? Great!  YFM is in need of magazines that can be used by our students to create collages, etc.  We especially need magazines with pictures of people, nature, buildings, animals, and food.  Magazines can be dropped off in the front room of the Admin. building (office hours are Tuesday-Thursday, 10-4).  Thank you!

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 understanding 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. 
Youth & Family Ministry

YFM classes meet in the Administration building, next to the Sanctuary, during the 11am Sunday Celebration Service. All children up to 14 years old must be signed in by an adult.  Our classes begin at 11:00 am, but children may arrive as early as 10:30 am. The Youth & Family Ministry at Unity of Arlington includes interactive educational programs for youth ages 4-18, as well as, a 
Nursery for infants and toddlers. We believe in learning through fun!

Unikids (pre-k, age 4 through 5th grade)

Uniteens (6th through 8 grade)

Our Uniteen group meets each Sunday to explore spiritual truths and how these truths relate to their personal lives. This is a safe place for youth in their preteen years (middle school) to connect with others and explore what they believe.  Our Uniteens attend weekend Unitreats for fellowship, lots of fun, and a chance to share their ideas and experiences with other Uniteens in the region.

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.
