"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!

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 all who enter with gratitude for their presence. A candle is used as a visible symbol of the flame as the prayer chaplain holds sacred space, envisioning the highest good of all and the highest good of Unity of Arlington.

 

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.  

Don’t miss the Unity of Arlington 50th Celebrations during and after Sunday services in August.

 

This Sunday, August 25th, the story of Unity of Arlington through the decades continues with the “Fourth Decade” from  2004 to 2013. This was a time of positive change, growth, and so much love. Learn about the history and hear about the people and the events that brought this amazing church fully into the 21st century. We are so blessed.

 

Come in person or watch online to enjoy our Golden Anniversary!

Fifty Years Ago...

 

Marie and Keith Loynachan started a small study group in their home, encouraged by Rev. Dr. Donald Curtis from Unity of Dallas. Little did they know that they were planting the spiritual seeds for what would become Unity of Arlington!

 

We are infinitely grateful to Marie and Keith for their unwavering love and leadership over the years.

 

As we begin celebrating our 50th Anniversary, we invite you to be a part of this incredible milestone. Your generosity has always been the foundation of our success.

 

In honor of our 50th Anniversary, would you consider making a

special $50, $500, or maybe a $5,000 Love Offering? 

 

Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us continue the legacy of our beloved spiritual community that Marie and Keith began.

 

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your continued support and faithful giving. We are profoundly grateful for your loving commitment to our spiritual family.

FOR THE COMMON GOOD

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.
