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.

"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.

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.
