SUMMARY:Art Gallery: Animalia by Holly Cole
DESCRIPTION:Animalia: An Art Exhibition by Holly Cole\nStep into a world where the wild comes to life through art. \nFloris is pleased to welcome artist Holly Cole and her captivating exhibition\, Animalia. This unique collection invites viewers to explore the beauty\, personality\, and imagination of the animal world through a variety of artistic forms. \nFrom majestic wildlife to whimsical creatures\, Holly’s work brings animals to the forefront in unexpected and engaging ways. The exhibition features richly detailed paintings alongside dimensional\, handcrafted animal sculptures\, creating a gallery experience that is both visually striking and full of character. \nAs you move through the exhibit\, you’ll encounter familiar animals portrayed in imaginative ways—from elephants and deer to bears\, birds\, moose\, and other creatures. Holly’s artwork captures both the recognizable qualities of each animal and the sense of wonder they inspire. Her use of color\, texture\, layering\, and expressive details gives each piece its own personality and invites you to pause and take a closer look. \nAnimalia is more than a collection of animal artwork. It is an opportunity to slow down\, appreciate the natural world\, and experience the creativity that comes from seeing familiar subjects through an artist’s eyes. \nWhether you’re an art enthusiast\, an animal lover\, or simply looking for something new to explore\, Animalia offers something to discover. Take your time wandering through the exhibition and see which pieces catch your eye\, spark your imagination\, or simply make you smile. \nCome experience Animalia by Holly Cole and discover the wild\, whimsical\, and wonderful creatures waiting to be found throughout the gallery. \nExplore the Floris Art Gallery to learn more about Animalia\, Holly Cole\, and the artists who have been featured in the gallery. \nVisit the Floris Art Gallery →

SUMMARY:Grief to Peace
DESCRIPTION:Grief to Peace\nGrief can change the way we see the world. When you’re grieving the loss of someone you love\, you may find yourself carrying emotions\, questions\, and experiences that are difficult to navigate alone. Grief to Peace is a six-week support group at Floris designed to provide a caring space for those walking through grief and seeking hope\, connection\, and peace. \nBeginning October 14\, this weekly group will bring people together to share\, listen\, reflect\, and explore faith in the midst of loss. Whether your grief is recent or you’ve been carrying it for some time\, you are welcome. \nA Place to Grieve Together\nGrief doesn’t follow a predictable timeline\, and there is no single right way to experience it. Grief to Peace offers an opportunity to connect with others who understand the challenges of losing someone important. \nEach gathering incorporates: \n\nScripture study to explore faith and hope in the midst of grief\nWhole-group discussion and opportunities to listen and connect\nPersonal sharing for those who feel comfortable participating\nPrayer and space for reflection\n\nYou are never required to share more than you’re comfortable sharing. Sometimes simply being in a room with others who understand can be meaningful. \nFinding Hope in the Journey\nGrief can feel isolating\, but you don’t have to walk through it alone. Together\, we’ll create space for honest conversations about loss while exploring the ways faith can offer comfort\, strength\, and hope. \nThis group isn’t about rushing through grief or finding quick answers. It’s about making room for the experience of loss while being supported by a caring community. \nOver six weeks\, participants will have the opportunity to build connections\, reflect on their experiences\, and explore what it means to move toward peace while continuing to honor the people and relationships they have lost. \nJoin Us This Fall\nGrief to Peace meets Wednesdays from 7–8:30 p.m.\, October 14 through November 18\, 2026\, at Floris UMC. \nThe group is limited to a small number of participants to help create an environment where meaningful connection and conversation can take place. Registration is required. \nIf you or someone you know is grieving the loss of a loved one\, we invite you to take this step toward connection and support. \nYou don’t have to have everything figured out. You simply have to show up. \nCome as you are. Grieve together. Find connection. Explore hope. Move toward peace. \nRegister for Grief to Peace\nRegistration is open through October 16\, 2026. There is no cost to participate. \nRegister Here >
