Simple Southern Spirituality ~ Thanksgiving Edition

“Belle of the (Butter)Ball”

11am, Rev. Anne Tabor

Sanctuary & Livestream

 

You may have heard the spiritual teaching from the Sufi poet Rumi, "What you seek is seeking you." But in the South, especially around Thanksgiving, it's heard this way instead: "What you're hankerin' is hankerin' you!" 

 

Join Rev. Anne for a special two-part Sunday Message Series that takes a down-to-earth look at the season of gratitude from a simple southern spiritual perspective.

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.
