"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.

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.
