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:Coffee Hours: Ask an *Almost* Pastor
DESCRIPTION:Coffee Hours: Ask an *Almost* Pastor\nHave you ever had a question about faith\, life\, or the Bible and wished you had a safe space to ask it? Maybe you’ve wondered about how to pray\, what a particular scripture means\, or how to navigate life’s challenges through the lens of faith. Or maybe you just need a place to pause at the end of the week with a good cup of coffee and a little community. \nThat’s exactly what “Almost Rev. Meg” Coffee Conversations is all about. Each Friday afternoon from 1–4 p.m.\, (October 3\, 2025 at 2-4 p.m.) join Almost Rev. Meg at Meanwhile Coffee in Woodland Crossing (2309 Woodland Crossing Dr\, Herndon\, VA) for an open\, welcoming time of conversation and connection. \nBring your toughest questions—Meg can promise you plenty of almost-answers! You don’t need to prepare anything in advance; just come as you are. Whether your questions are about the Bible\, daily life\, or where faith intersects with culture\, this is a space to ask honestly\, wonder together\, and share perspectives without pressure. \nNot in the mood for questions? That’s okay too! This gathering is also a casual co-working opportunity. Bring your laptop\, grab a latte\, and settle in alongside other Floris folks. You’ll find a supportive\, relaxed environment where you can catch up on work\, enjoy good company\, or simply take a breather. \nThis weekly meetup is about more than coffee—it’s about building community. It’s about creating room for curiosity\, for laughter\, and for being together outside of Sunday morning. Whether you come once or make it a regular Friday ritual\, you’ll find a warm welcome and a fresh perspective. \nSo\, mark your calendar\, bring your questions (or your to-do list)\, and join us. See you Fridays at Meanwhile Coffee!\nWant more ways to connect? \nExplore other Groups at Floris or check out upcoming Church Events.
