“God is Good, All the Time” (really?)
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
Sanctuary & Livestream
Have you ever had one of those days where everything seems to go wrong and then someone cheerfully says, "God is good, all the time"? It's like getting a hug and a shove out the door at the same time! While this statement holds a profound Truth, it can also serve as a spiritual Band-Aid. Join Rev. Anne as she takes a deeper look at what this phrase really means and how we can move beyond using it as a quick fix.

“Everything Happens for a Reason” (really?)
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
Sanctuary & Livestream
Join us for part three of our Sunday Message Series, Going Beyond Spiritual Platitudes, as Rev. Anne takes a deep dive into the ever-so-popular phrase, “Everything happens for a reason.”
Now, we’ve all heard it. We’ve probably even said it! While this saying is true in the simplest sense—for example, you tripped over your own two feet while trying to text and walk at the same time—it’s not very comforting when someone chirps it at you when you’re in the middle of a mess. In those moments, you might want to respond with something less than holy!
Instead of relying on platitudes, let’s discover how we can focus on the real, transformative power of strength and grace. Join Rev. Anne to find out how!

Prayer Chaplain Information Mtg
NaOra Horton and Theresa Riggs
Sunday, June 2, 2024, at 1pm
We are all blessed to be called to many areas of sacred service within our church community. Being a prayer chaplain is a calling, a commitment to pray for and with others.
So, what is being a prayer chaplain all about? What does it entail?
Our prayer chaplains are offering an introductory meeting on Sunday,
June 2, at 1pm, right after church service. We’ll be serving light refreshments and providing insights into the sacred calling of prayer chaplaincy. If you feel that God might be whispering this calling into your heart, please pick up a brochure for more details and sign up for this introductory meeting.

Enlightened Harmonies:
A New Thought and Posi Music Playlist
by Sara Crawford
“Music is food for the soul.” “Music is a universal language.” “Music speaks louder than words.” These may be clichés, but they are clichés for a reason. Music has the power to transform lives—it can help you to transcend your day-to-day experience, and it can empower and uplift. This is definitely the case with New Thought or Posi Music.

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.
