Advent Week 3: LOVE
“Your Love Matters”
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
Sanctuary & Livestream
Charles Fillmore, the co-founder of Unity, taught that “Love is the great harmonizer and healer.” And so, whether we’re talking about loving ourselves (self-compassion) or loving others—your love matters. Period. This is why your brain … AND … your heart knows the difference between habitual patterns of surviving or thriving. Join Rev. Anne for our third week of Advent as we explore how walking in sync with the harmonizing Power of Love activates the link between you and everything!

A Most Unlikely Christmas Gift
by Rev. Bronte Colbert
Not all Christmas gifts come wrapped and topped with a bow. Some come in the guise of our more unpleasant challenges. And sometimes the greatest gift we can receive is realizing the gifts we have to give.

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.
