"Deconstructing Sunday Service"

11am, Steven D. Morris

Guest Speaker

Sanctuary & Livestream

 

People come to church for a variety of reasons. To connect with God.

 

To hear a good message, the music, fellowship, all of that and more.

 

I’ll share my thoughts about ways to get the most of our Sunday Services.

About Steve:

 

STEVEN D. MORRIS is the Executive Producer of Theatre Arlington. Check out his weekly Facebook Live, Theatre Arlington’s Theatre Thursdays at 1:00pm.

 

Steve has his Masters in Theatre.

 

Steve was named an Arlington High School Distinguished Alumni Award for 2021 and The Man Enough to be a Girl Scout Award from the Texas, Oklahoma Region in 2024.

 

Steve was the Director of Theatre at Lamar High School for 27 years and when he retired the school’s auditorium was named for him.

Steve is very active with his church Unity of Arlington. He is a Platform Leader and led a spirit group and theatre ministry for several years.

 

Community service has been important to Steve for most of his adult life. He prepared and served dinner to the residents of Samaritan House (homeless people living with HIV) once a month for 20 years. He has also volunteered with Arlington Animal Services and The Arlington Life Shelter.

 

Steve is blessed by great love in his life.

"Actualizing the Fundamental Point:

The deep wisdom of Zen Master Dogen"

11am, Rev. Paul John Roach

Guest Speaker

Sanctuary & Livestream

 

Life is simpler and more magnificent than we often realize. In a world of distraction and confusion we will learn to experience that simplicity.

YOUR COMMUNITY

Opportunities and Upcoming Events

 

As you may know, we recently met with the individual SpiritGroups for input about our ministry, who we want to be, and what qualities we most desire in our next minister.

 

Next Sunday, November 10th, we will meet to share the results of those discussions and allow for input from others in our community.

 

Please plan on joining us. We will begin right after church. Light snacks will be provided.

 

Thanks,

Steven D. Morris

And by the way...

 

Bring out your hidden barista! – volunteer to help with set up and refreshments at our new Common Grounds gatherings. Contact Julie Strittmatter 469-569-0446  westjulianam@gmail.com  to find out more.

Greeters Needed!

 

Remember how it felt the first time you walked through the doors of Unity of Arlington? How nice it was to have someone smile, say "Hi," and welcome you into the sanctuary? It’s time to give some of that warm feeling back by volunteering to be a greeter and help make everyone who comes through our doors feel loved and welcome. Talk to Marion Tudor at church, call her at 817-929-3724, or email her at granny0497@gmail.com  to sign up.
