SUMMARY:Yoon Nam - Prayer Garden
DESCRIPTION:Experience Art that Connects Faith\, Creativity\, and Community with Yoon Nam’s Prayer Garden Exhibit\nThe Floris Art Gallery invites you to experience this month’s featured collection – Yoon Nam’s Prayer Garden – a heartfelt exploration of faith and creativity born out of unexpected beginnings. \nDuring the pandemic\, many of us searched for new ways to find peace and purpose in uncertain times. For this month’s artist\, that journey began with simple YouTube tutorials and a paintbrush. What started as a pastime soon transformed into a spiritual practice—a way of slowing down\, listening\, and becoming more aware of God’s presence in the quiet moments of each day. \nThough not formally trained\, the artist discovered that painting could be more than just creating images on canvas. Each brushstroke became both a prayer and a reflection\, offering gratitude for the gift of life. Through this practice\, a deeper way of seeing the world emerged—one that celebrates simplicity\, beauty\, and stillness. \nThe collection features scenes of nature—trees reaching toward the sky\, flowers bursting with color\, waterscapes reflecting peace\, and skies alive with light. These works are not simply depictions of creation but invitations to experience it anew. They remind us that God’s beauty is always present—in the ordinary\, in the quiet\, and in the wonder we often overlook. \nWhen you visit the Floris Art Gallery this month\, you’ll encounter more than artwork on the walls. You’ll step into a space where faith and creativity meet\, where each piece is an offering of hope\, gratitude\, and awe. Whether you are an art enthusiast\, a seeker of spiritual reflection\, or simply someone who longs for a moment of stillness\, this exhibition offers a place to pause\, breathe\, and be renewed. \nLearn more about this month’s exhibition on our Art Gallery page. \nThe 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. \nCome and experience art that draws you closer to God\, to creation\, and to community.

SUMMARY:The Lord's Prayer Study
DESCRIPTION:The Lord’s Prayer Study\nhttps://www.florisumc.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Lords-Prayer-Video-w-CC_1.mp4\n  \nMost Christians know the Lord’s Prayer by heart. We pray it often\, at different times and in different settings. We remember it as the prayer that Jesus taught his disciples. But do we really understand and appreciate the meaning and power of its words\, what we ask of God each time we pray it? \nTogether as a church\, join in this journey as we learn about The Lord’s Prayer in a three-week sermon series\, “Praying the Prayer of Jesus in Today’s World” (September 14\, 21 and 28). Groups will discuss the sermon each week while also reading Adam Hamilton’s book The Lord’s Prayer. \nThe Lord’s Prayer: The Meaning and Power of the Prayer Jesus Taught by Adam Hamilton. \nFind a group here and signup. \nWeekly Sermon
