Palm Sunday
The Art of "Doing It Anyway"
Sunday, April 10, 2022
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
Hybrid Service (online and in-person)
 
As we honor Palm Sunday, the Sunday before Easter, we remember the triumphant entry of Jesus into the city of Jerusalem. This ride of a lifetime was a necessary path for Jesus to take. Does that mean it was easy? No. But he did it anyway because this journey led to his resurrection. Join Rev. Anne as we explore that it’s not just what we know, but what we do about what we know that creates spiritual awakening and transformation!
 
Easter Sunday
"Why Easter Matters"
Sunday, April 17, 2022
11am, Rev. Anne Tabor
Hybrid Service (online and in-person)
 
Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus. The deeper meaning represents new beginnings and our ability to “cross out” old ways of thinking. Join Rev. Anne for an inspirational look at the Easter story and how every time we rise from the tomb of limitation, we awaken the Christ Spirit within—the doorway to our own resurrection experience!

As a source of spiritual support, we created a small booklet of prayers, Always Here for You: The Prayers of Silent Unity. In addition to the collection of prayers within, you’ll hear from longtime prayer associates who cherish the opportunity to uplift you when you ask for prayer.
 
Whatever you seek on your spiritual journey, this booklet can help serve, inspire, and heal. It contains:
  • A letter from Silent Unity from the Unity Archives
  • Prayers of healing
  • Prayers of abundance
  • Prayers of harmony

I encourage you to use this special collection for your own quiet reflection to affirm healing, peace of mind, prosperity, or protection in your life or the lives of those you love.
 
May Always Here for You: The Prayers of Silent Unity uplift, comfort, and remind you that we are always here for you. Request your copy today.
 
Abundant blessings,

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!

UNITY'S FIVE BASIC PRINCIPLES
 
Principle #1:
There is only one Presence and one Power in the Universe and in my life, God the Good.
 
Principle #2:
Human beings have a spark of divinity within them, the Christ spirit within.
Their essence is of God, and therefore they are also inherently good. 
 
Principle #3:
Human beings create their experiences by the activity of their thinking.
Everything in the manifest realm has its beginning in thought.
 
Principle #4:
Prayer is creative thinking that heightens the connection with God Mind and therefore brings forth wisdom, healing, prosperity, and everything good.
 
Principle #5:
Knowing and understanding the laws of life, also called Truth, are not enough.
A person must live the truth he or she knows.
 
CORE VALUES
Spirit-Led:
Centered in the awareness of God's presence, we turn within for divine guidance in all we do.
 
Love:
Love is our True Nature. We express the harmonizing power of love to see good everywhere and in everybody. Love binds together the whole human family.
 
Diversity:
We believe that all people are created with sacred worth. In a spirit of Unity, we embrace each person as an expression of God grounded in truth and love.
 
Connection:
We live, love, and laugh from our Oneness with God. We honor our inter-connectedness with each other, with all life, and the earth.
 
Abundance:
God is our Infinite Source of Good. We gratefully demonstrate prosperity in all areas of our lives. We wisely use our wealth of resources to serve our spiritual community and the world.
 
Service:
We cultivate enlightened leadership by practicing the teachings of Jesus the Christ through sacred service. It is a blessing to serve locally and globally.
 
Integrity:
We consciously choose to practice living our Core Values and Unity Principles rather than simply professing them. We choose to communicate from the heart with authenticity and deliver on our commitments with reliability.
