 "Seeds of Possibility"
Sunday, October 13, 2019
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
A popular Chinese proverb says,
"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." And so, regardless of the season, there is no better time than the present for planting seeds of possibility in the inner soil of our lives. But there are a few important things to keep in mind about where you drop these seeds. Join Rev. Anne as we explore how your personal laws of life create the good soil from which your spiritual seeds will put down roots so they
can
bear abundant fruit! In other words, do you want to grow flowers... or do you want to grow weeds?

In our fast-paced, over-stimulated and over-worked world, it's more vital than ever that we take a little time to slow down and catch our breath. Kit Holmes shares personal insights on the importance of practicing how to "Be still...and know."

 Animal Blessing
Saturday, October 5th, 2019
10-12pm
The Blessing of Animals is a service offered in honor of St. Francis of Assisi's love for all creatures. This year, a tent will be set up and our Animal Blessing will take place on the wonderful grounds of Unity of Arlington. All are invited to bring their pets to be blessed. To ensure safety, we ask that you have your pet on a leash or in a carrier so that all get along peacefully. We also bless pictures of your pets for those who have transitioned or are not able to attend.
Spread the word and invite friends and neighbors to bring their pets, too! Love offerings appreciated.
Additional Info:
As a memento, all pets will receive a "Certificate of Blessing."
There will be informal pet photography during the event.
We will also accept items to be donated to Arlington Animal Shelter. A drop area will be designated for toys, cat food (pate only for the kittens), distilled white vinegar, non-clumping cat litter, Windex & paper towels, chlorine bleach, pump garden sprayers, quart size zip lock baggies, and gently used blankets and towels. The Shelter is also in need of newspapers.
For more information, please contact our team lead, Anyda Smid, at:

UNITY'S FIVE BASIC PRINCIPLES
There is only one Presence and one Power in the Universe and in my life,
God the Good.
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.
Human beings create their experiences by the activity of their thinking.
Everything in the manifest realm has its beginning in thought.
Prayer is creative thinking that heightens the connection with God Mind and therefore brings forth wisdom, healing, prosperity, and everything good.
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.
