SUMMARY:Through the Lens with Alexis Doty: Love\, Serve\, Lead
DESCRIPTION:Through the Lens: Love\, Serve\, Lead\nAn Art Gallery Experience Featuring the Work of Alexis Doty \nThrough the Lens is an immersive art gallery experience that invites viewers to slow down\, reflect\, and see the sacred in everyday moments. Featuring the photography and videography of Alexis Doty\, this exhibition highlights the quiet beauty\, honest emotion\, and powerful stories found within the life and ministry of Floris UMC. \nTitled Love\, Serve\, Lead\, this show explores what it means to live out faith through action. Each image captures moments of compassion\, service\, leadership\, and connection\, revealing how love is expressed not only through words\, but through presence\, care\, and community. From worship and fellowship to service and outreach\, Alexis’s work offers a visual narrative of a church actively living its calling. \nAs both a photographer and videographer at Floris UMC\, Alexis Doty brings a deeply personal and thoughtful perspective to her work. Her lens focuses on authenticity rather than perfection\, drawing attention to the small but meaningful interactions that often go unnoticed. These images invite viewers to pause\, look closer\, and consider how love\, service\, and leadership are embodied in everyday life. \nThrough the Lens is more than an art show. It is an invitation to reflect on our shared values and how they take shape in real people and real moments. Whether you are part of the Floris community or visiting for the first time\, this exhibition creates space for contemplation\, conversation\, and inspiration. \nGuests are encouraged to move through the gallery at their own pace\, allowing each piece to speak to them personally. The experience is designed to be accessible and welcoming to all\, offering a meaningful way to engage with art\, faith\, and community. \nTo learn more about upcoming exhibits and events\, visit our Art Gallery page. \nJoin us for Through the Lens: Love\, Serve\, Lead and experience a visual journey that celebrates the heart of Floris UMC.
