Guest Speaker Gary Simmons, TH.D.

We are delighted to welcome Gary Simmons as our guest speaker on Sunday, September 13. Gary is a longtime Unity minister, teacher, and author whose work in spiritual integration and mission‑centric ministry has shaped communities across the movement.

Gary is shaping his lesson around “Don’t Worry, Be Happy,” offering a heartfelt exploration of worry—and the important difference between worry and concern. His message will be an invitation to stop importing tomorrow’s imagined difficulties into today’s nervous system, and to return to the grounded, present‑moment trust that spiritual practice makes possible.

We are also thrilled to share that his wife, Rev. Jane Simmons, is the creator of the curriculum we’ll be using for our upcoming after‑service class, You Can’t Sleep Through Your Awakening, facilitated by Rev. Terry.

And as a joyful bonus, the fabulous Christine Ess will return as our guest musician that same Sunday—an uplifting way to welcome the end of summer and step into a new season together.
