My Final Five
Sunday Sermons in September!
Serving as your senior minister for over 9 years has been the honor of a lifetime. As my time at Unity of Arlington comes to a close, I warmly invite you to join me for my final five Sunday services that will carry us through September.
Each week, these talks will be filled with messages of love, laughter, and light!
Let’s come together as a spiritual family to honor our time together and set the stage for the wonderful new chapter ahead for UofA. I can’t wait to see you there and share these special moments with you!

"Expect the Best"
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
Sanctuary & Livestream
Have you ever prayed for cream but found yourself living a skim-milk life? It’s time to get clear about what you’re praying for and how you’re showing up. In celebration of Unity World Day of Prayer, we’ll dive into the beautiful and surprising nature of prayer and how to make it a meaningful practice. Join Rev. Anne for an honest and uplifting look at prayer and why Spirit within calls you to expect the best—even when life feels a little messy. After all, if you’re going to pray, you might as well go for the full-fat version!

“Life 360: Navigating Change"
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
Sanctuary & Livestream
Change is inevitable, but it offers a pathway to profound personal and spiritual growth. In Finding Yourself in Transition: Using Life’s Changes for Spiritual Awakening, Robert Brumet beautifully blends psychology, Eastern and Western mysticism, and Biblical insights to guide you through life’s most challenging shifts.
In Part 1 of this uplifting three-part Sunday Message Series, we’ll explore how to turn life’s transitions into opportunities for growth, much like the Life360 app helps us stay connected and guided through every turn.
Discover how to trust the process, embrace the void, and step into new beginnings with grace. Join Rev. Anne as she leads us through this transformative time in Unity of Arlington’s history, supporting you in navigating change with clarity and purpose.

From Your Prayer Chaplain Team
Keeper of the Flame is being re-established at Unity of Arlington.
In ancient times, a keeper of the flame was a person who literally kept a fire burning in memory of someone who was deceased. Scriptural references relate to God's desire for us to be joyful always, to pray continually, and to give thanks in all circumstances.
At Unity of Arlington, the Keeper of the Flame is one of our prayer chaplains who locates in a quiet area each Sunday to hold the high watch during services, enfolding in love and light all who enter. A small candle flickers as a symbol of the flame as the prayer chaplain holds sacred space, envisioning the highest good of all the Unity of Arlington community.
We will also be present in person or remotely during UofA meetings of the Board of Trustees, holding sacred space in gratitude for their service.

FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE

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.
