You may recall the answer to the old joke… “Can you tell me how to get to Carnegie Hall?” It’s… “Practice, practice, practice!” Join Rev. Anne for the conclusion of her Sunday Message Series, “Unity in a Nutshell 2022,” as we explore our fifth principle and how it’s not enough to know and understand these spiritual laws; we must actually practice them!

"Lift Every Voice and Sing!"
Sunday, February 13, 2022
11am, Dr. Tracy Brown, Guest Speaker
Hybrid Service (online and in-person)
*Reserved Seating
 
Are you ready to lift your voice and sing about the power of God in your life and the life of all Creation? The song “Lift Every Voice” is a spiritual person’s study guide. Originally written as a poem to inspire faith and affirm wholeness for Black Americans, the lyrics also have a message for all people. Tracy Brown introduces us to the words again, but this time from a metaphysical perspective, so we can more deeply appreciate the power of this song. Honor Black History Month and explore your own divinity at the same time.
 
Dr. Tracy’s Bio:
 
Since 1986 Dr. Tracy Brown has used universal spiritual principles to infuse her life with peace and joy. Dr. Donald Curtis was her first New Thought teacher and Unity Dallas was her first New Thought spiritual home. Her personal motto is “You Always Have a Choice.”
 
She is the author of several books. Her latest book is: Stained Glass Spirit: Becoming a Spiritual Community Where Oneness Does Not Require Sameness and her book, I Turn to Prayer is a collection of prayers written in a variety of formats.  Her “What is Mine to Do” TEDx talk led to a book, a journal and a very active Facebook group with more than 7,000 members.
 
Dr. Tracy is a Licensed Practitioner with Centers for Spiritual Living and recently ended 3 years as the Chair for their international board of directors.  
 
Living the principles of New Thought in every aspect of life is her commitment. Helping others do the same is her passion.

Pet Cold Weather
Safety Tips
from the ASPCA
 
Exposure to winter’s dry, cold air and chilly rain, sleet and snow can cause chapped paws and itchy, flaking skin, but these aren’t the only discomforts pets can suffer. Winter walks can become downright dangerous if chemicals from ice-melting agents are licked off of bare paws. For cold weather safety tips, please CLICK HERE.

We would love to prayer with 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 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.
