Third Grade Bibles

3rd Grade Bibles

Receiving a Bible is an exciting milestone in a child’s faith journey, and Floris is honored to celebrate this special moment with our families each year.

As children begin their third-grade school year, Floris United Methodist Church provides each child with their very own Bible—a gift that will encourage them as they grow in their relationship with God and deepen their understanding of Scripture. Whether used during family devotions, Sunday school, or personal reading, we hope this Bible becomes a treasured companion for years to come.

If your child is entering third grade, we invite them to receive a Bible as part of this meaningful tradition. Children in fourth or fifth grade who did not receive a Bible during their third-grade year are also warmly invited to participate.

Parents and guardians are asked to complete the registration form below so we can prepare a Bible for each child. If you are registering more than one child, simply select “Add Another Child” to include each additional participant.

Ready to register? Complete the registration form here:
Register for the 3rd Grade Bible Distribution

We look forward to celebrating this important step in your child’s faith journey and equipping them with God’s Word as they continue to learn, grow, and discover His love.

Andrea Finch – What the Bees See

Experience Art that Reveals Creation Through the Eyes of Bees

The Floris Art Gallery invites you to experience this month’s featured installation—What the Bees See—a vibrant and immersive exploration of the natural world through the perspective of bees.

This striking exhibit offers a fresh way of seeing creation, drawing attention to the beauty, complexity, and quiet wonder found in flowers, movement, light, and the delicate ecosystems that sustain life. Inspired by the unique vision and role of pollinators, the installation encourages viewers to slow down and notice what is often overlooked in the world around us.

Through color, texture, and layered artistic expression, the work reflects the rhythm of nature itself—how bees move with purpose, gather with intention, and participate in a cycle of growth and renewal that sustains the earth. Each piece becomes an invitation not only to observe, but to reflect on the interconnectedness of creation and our place within it.

As you move through the gallery, you’ll encounter a space designed for contemplation and curiosity. The installation invites you to engage your senses and consider how beauty is often revealed in the smallest details—in the patterns of petals, the movement of wings, and the quiet harmony of living systems working together.

More than an art display, this exhibit is an experience of attention and awareness. Whether you are an art enthusiast, a nature lover, or simply seeking a moment of peace and inspiration, What the Bees See offers a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the world in a meaningful way.

When you visit the Floris Art Gallery this month, you are invited into a moment of wonder—where creativity opens new ways of seeing and where the natural world becomes a source of reflection, gratitude, and awe.

Come and experience art that draws you closer to creation, to community, and to the beauty that surrounds us every day.

Learn more about this month’s exhibition on our Art Gallery page.

The Floris Art Gallery also welcomes artists in our community to share their gifts. If you are interested in submitting your own work for consideration, we invite you to apply to exhibit with us.

Come and experience art that draws you closer to God, to creation, and to community.

Join us in celebrating an important milestone in the ministry journey of Megan Dietrick as she is licensed for ministry at the Virginia Conference on June 20 at 11:00 AM. This special service marks a significant step in her call to serve God and the church, and we invite our congregation to be part of this meaningful moment.

A sacred milestone in ministry
Licensing is a sacred affirmation of God’s call on a person’s life and their commitment to ministry within the United Methodist Church. For Megan, this moment represents years of discernment, preparation, and faithful response to God’s leading. As she takes this next step, we celebrate not only what she has accomplished, but also the ministry she will continue to live out in the years ahead.

Save the date and join in celebration
We encourage our community to save the date and prepare to join in support, prayer, and celebration as Megan participates in this service. While the livestream link is not yet available, it will be shared as soon as it is released by the Virginia Conference so that all who wish to attend virtually may do so.

What this moment represents

  • A recognition of God’s call on Megan’s life

This is a moment for us to come together as a church family and recognize the ways God is raising up leaders within our midst. Megan’s journey is a reflection of the ongoing work of the Spirit in shaping, calling, and equipping individuals for ministry and service.

Following her licensing, Megan will be appointed to Floris UMC beginning July 1, where she will begin serving as part of our pastoral team. We look forward with joy and expectation to welcoming her into this next season of ministry with our church community.

We look forward to gathering virtually on June 20 at 11:00 AM to witness and celebrate this meaningful step in her ministry journey. Please continue to watch for updates as the viewing link becomes available.
