"Resilience and Resistance"

Dr. Tracy Brown, RScP, Guest Speaker

11am, Sanctuary and Livestream on Facebook

 

Too often we limit our reflections on love to soft, warm, quiet, joyful behavior. What does love look like when we are in the middle of a personal crisis, a pandemic or political polarity? Tracy Brown invites us to consider that resilience is a result of self-love and resistance is an expression of a commitment to love the community as well as yourself. She will share a roadmap for navigating tough times provided by Black women in America that perfectly aligns with Unity Principle and universal spiritual Truth.

"Drawing From a Deep Well of Wisdom"

Dr. Nancy Little, LUT, Guest Speaker

11am, Sanctuary and Livestream on Facebook

 

How do you focus your attention to perceive the Divine Guidance that you can access? What helps you to trust your inner voice? You are endowed with a deep well of wisdom that you can draw from as you navigate the ups and downs of life.

 

Join Dr. Nancy Little, LUT, to explore ways to accentuate your inner knowing and to minimize outer distractions. Opening to your “deep well” reveals what you need in the moment and brings clarity to your path forward. The Power of Wisdom is not dependent on your intellectual abilities, but rather your inner spiritual discernment.

YOUR COMMUNITY

Opportunities and Upcoming Events

 

Join us for coffee and lite bites before Sunday Service. Drop by the Administration Building between 10:00 and 10:45am and meet other folks, connect, and enjoy a cup of coffee. We look forward to seeing you there!

 

 

Activate your spirituality. Join our small group ministry. 

 

Our small group ministry at Unity of Arlington is called "SpiritGroups." We have several SpiritGroups that form 3 times a year and each session runs about 10 weeks, but in particular we have a group for those individuals who are new to Unity and it is always open for you to join.

 

You do not have to be local or a member at Unity of Arlington to attend a group (we can meet via Zoom, if necessary). We'd love to have you join us!

 

SpiritGroups provide a place for deeper connection with people. It's a great place to make friends. You can grow and learn together, have an impact on your community, all while having fun and hanging out with friends.

 

When you join a SpiritGroup you know they’ll be there for you on a weekly basis providing spiritual support for one another. When facing the challenges and opportunities that come with evolving growth, being in a SpiritGroup can provide comfort and empowerment.

Why Is Black History Month So Important?

 

Black History Month is a launchpad for cultural, spiritual, and historical understanding of African Americans and unity in America.

 

As Unity observes and celebrates Black History Month, some of its Black leaders explain why Black History Month remains important, especially in a spiritual context.

Tuesday Book Study

Tuesdays, 1:30pm - 3pm, Zoom

 

Join Rev. Gloria Cox's book-study group

to read and discuss The Magic of the Word, by May Rowland.

 

May Rowland was director of Unity's prayer ministry "Silent Unity" for many years. She said: "Remember, the power of the word is yours. Through your word you change the circumstances of your life. The word of God is quick and powerful.... Through Christ in you, you can live life triumphantly and victoriously." Myrtle Fillmore told her, "You are a peacemaker." Charles Fillmore stated: "Jesus Christ men (and everyone) are to be lights that glow with a perpetual current from the omnipresent energy." Join in as we "Let our Lights Shine" for the Highest Good for all!

 

Please contact Rev. Gloria with any questions. Reserve your place in the class and get the Zoom link by calling her at: 817-472-5655

A Solo Trip and

Unexpected Experience

by Tawanda Lawrence, Ph.D.

 

I love to travel the world and usually go on trips with a travel partner or a group, but I’ve discovered exploring a new place as a single traveler allows me to focus on my own experience and better feel and rely upon God’s guiding presence. Last March, I went on my first international solo trip from the United States to Brazil, and it turned out to be a transformational experience.

Little Free Library

 

Please support our connection with our community through our Little Free Library by bringing book donations (teen, fiction, non-fiction, spiritual, self help). Children's books are especially needed. Donation area available Sundays. 

The Board of Trustees has made the decision to temporarily pause our Youth and Family Ministries Program.

 

We ask for everyone’s support while we make space for a robust program with a focus on Unity curriculum development and family engagement. In the interim, we welcome and encourage the children to attend church with their families. We are providing art tablets, books, crayons and markers in the sanctuary.

FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE
