Selected works will be featured in the Floris Art Gallery throughout January and February 2026. \nJoin us as we fill our gallery with the colors\, textures\, and stories of our own community—each piece a reflection of what it means to love boldly\, serve joyfully\, and lead courageously in today’s world. \n\nHow to Submit\nPlease submit your artwork by November 23\, 2025.Visit florisumc.org/art-gallery \nCome share your gifts\, celebrate creativity\, and help us bring faith to life through art.
