Ministerial Candidate Audition

"I Say, "Yes!'"

11am, Rev. Rebecca Rickey

Sanctuary & Livestream on Facebook

 

Are you saying “Yes!” to life? What guides you in your decision making and how do you know when to say “Yes” to being more present and more alive to life? We have opportunities every day to say, “Yes!” to more abundant living, to more life, to more joy, to more love and compassion for ourselves and others. What is nudging you that wants to be manifest in your experience and will you say, “Yes!”? Will you ignore it until it creates ways to get your full and undivided attention? Guidance is always available, and signposts present themselves that point us to the right and perfect choice for our lives, for the life of our community, and for the collective life of our planet. Join us as we discuss how saying “Yes!” moves us along our spiritual path.

ArlingtonPride 2025

 

Now that all the rainbow ducks have left the plucking pond, we can officially say the Unity of Arlington PRIDE booth was a raving success. With a consistent line of PRIDE festival attendees, the Unity volunteers talked to so many people that we ran out of SWAG.....that's THOUSANDS of people.

 

Thank you to the Board, the volunteers, the Marketing team and a special thanks to Julie West for the brilliant booth idea, "Pluck a Duck". See you next year ArlingtonPRIDE! 

Just a Reminder...Please join us...

 

on June 29th for a special Potluck Luncheon in Garden Lane Center with our Ministerial Candidate. Lunch will follow immediately after Sunday Service. Signup sheets will be available in the Sanctuary this Sunday. Space is limited so please sign up if you plan to attend.

 

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!

Spiritual Leadership in Challenging Economic Times

By Rev. Jim Blake

 

In Unity, we believe leadership is not about pretending challenges don’t exist but about facing them while being grounded in spiritual understanding. In times of uncertainty, spiritual leaders are called not only to navigate challenges but to embody and model the Truth they affirm.

 

Here are some ways we can lead with faith, speak with intention and clarity, and hold ourselves to a consciousness of abundance in the midst of apparent lack.

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.
