SUMMARY:Andrea Finch - What the Bees See
DESCRIPTION:Experience Art that Reveals Creation Through the Eyes of Bees\nThe 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. \nThis 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. \nThrough 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. \nAs 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. \nMore 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. \nWhen 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. \nCome and experience art that draws you closer to creation\, to community\, and to the beauty that surrounds us every day. \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:Western North Carolina Mission Trip
DESCRIPTION:Western North Carolina Mission Trip \nFor over two decades\, Floris United Methodist Church has been answering the call to serve communities impacted by natural disasters. From hurricanes and flooding to tornadoes\, our mission teams have brought hope and help to areas across the country. Now\, we invite you to be part of our next journey—our Western North Carolina Mission Trip. \nFloris UMC has sent more than 60 teams to disaster-stricken areas in states like Mississippi\, Florida\, South Carolina\, North Carolina\, Kentucky\, New Jersey\, and New York. Over 600 volunteers have rolled up their sleeves\, built homes\, cleared debris\, and most importantly\, offered compassion to those in need. This work continues as long as there are communities in need of recovery. \nOur next UMVIM Team to Western North Carolina is July 12–17. Would you be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ for the thousands of folks displaced by the remnants of Hurricane Helene? Whether you are skilled in construction or have little or no experience\, your willingness to help will make a great difference. \nAll missioners must be 18+ or 16–18 if accompanied by a parent or designated chaperone\, and there’s no upper age limit—just bring your heart and hands ready to serve! From teens to retirees\, our teams are made up of people who simply want to make a tangible impact in the lives of others. \nJoin us as we continue this important work. Be the hands and feet of Christ in North Carolina. Come ready to work\, to serve\, and to grow in faith and fellowship. \nSign up or ask questions: Tim Wells\, cyacard@comcast.net\, 703-517-0183 \nREGISTER NOW!Dates: July 12–17\, 2026
