"The God of Spinoza"

11am, Michael Brundy, Guest Speaker

Sanctuary & Livestream

 

When Einstein was asked if he believed in God, he said he believed in the God of Spinoza. Who is this God? What can we learn about God from Spinoza? 



Michael will share and explore this subject. 

About Michael:

 

Michael Brundy is a motivational speaker, a storyteller and an author of four books. The most recent book is titled “Make A Point Tell A Story.” Michael retired from the telecommunication industry after 40 years of service. He worked as a programmer, a project manager, a technical director and a host of other assignments. Now he is the President of the Tejas Storytelling Association, President of the Dallas Storytelling Guild, a board member for the ACE Foundation, a Life Member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity,  a marathoner and president of his own company called I Speak.

 

Michael would tell you he has had to overcome many adversities in his life. Most of his accomplishments were first failures. He failed at wrestling and ultimate received a scholarship and was a state champion. He failed at speaking and later became a hall of fame Toastmaster speaking champion. He was fired from his first job after college and ended up with a 40 year professional career and never missed a day of work.

 

Michael currently is aging gracefully. He stays busy with his speaking and storytelling.  He is very health conscious and enjoys sharing his knowledge with young people.

 

Michael believes his purpose is to communicate with others. He aspires to inform, inspire and entertain audiences with his speaking. He wants to leave this world empty because he has given all he has to give.

"Surrender"

11am, Dr. Tracy Brown, Guest Speaker

Sanctuary & Livestream

 

In today’s world, most of us consider the word surrender as a description of failure or loss. But what if surrender could deliver our greatest desires? This week, Tracy Brown challenges us to consider the meaning of surrender through a spiritual lens and to consider how surrender makes us stronger, not weaker.

More than 50 Years of Service

 

Meals On Wheels, Inc. of Tarrant County is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization that started in 1973 as a collaboration between 11 faith-based organizations in downtown Fort Worth to bring food to the elderly. Over the years, we have grown and now serve all of Tarrant County, providing approximately 1.3 million meals each year to some of Tarrant County’s frailest citizens. By providing home-delivered meals, professional case management, and other needed items or services to our homebound, elderly and disabled clients, we enable them to remain living independently in their own homes, surrounded by a lifetime of memories.

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.
