This program is designed for adults with disabilities, unique abilities, or those who benefit from additional support, offering a welcoming space to grow, connect, and thrive.
Learning Life Skills in a Supportive Environment
Summer is a time to explore new interests, strengthen life skills, and build meaningful relationships.

More than a program, Adult Enrichment is a place of belonging. Every participant is valued, supported, and encouraged in a community rooted in inclusion, respect, and care. Staff and volunteers work together to create a safe, welcoming environment where friendships are formed, confidence is built, and every person is empowered to participate fully.
Who We Serve
Adult Enrichment is designed for adults who benefit from a supportive learning and social environment, including individuals with disabilities or unique abilities. Whether joining for the first time or returning, participants are welcomed into a program that meets them where they are and supports their continued growth.

HCW Mission Trip
2026-07-19 - 2026-08-01 | Floris UMC, 13600 Frying Pan Road, Herndon, VA, 20171
October Mission Trip: A Journey of Service, Growth, and Transformation
Travel Dates: July 19 – August 1
The October Mission Trip is more than a travel experience—it is an invitation to step into a season of meaningful service, deep connection, and personal transformation. From July 19 through August 1, participants will join together in a shared mission to serve communities, build relationships, and actively live out their faith in tangible ways.
This journey is designed for individuals who feel called to step outside of their everyday routines and into an experience that challenges, stretches, and renews them. Whether you are a seasoned mission participant or considering your very first trip, this opportunity offers a powerful space to grow spiritually while making a real impact in the lives of others.
Throughout the trip, participants will engage in hands-on service projects that respond to the real needs of the community. These may include supporting local ministries, assisting with outreach programs, engaging in community development efforts, and partnering with local leaders to strengthen ongoing initiatives. Each day will offer opportunities not only to serve, but also to listen, learn, and build authentic relationships with the people and communities being served.
In addition to the service work, this trip is also a deeply formative spiritual experience. Time will be set aside for reflection, group connection, prayer, and debriefing, allowing participants to process what they are seeing and experiencing together. Many who have participated in past mission trips describe the experience as life-shaping—marked by a renewed sense of purpose, deeper faith, and a clearer understanding of how they are called to serve in their everyday lives.
The October Mission Trip is also an opportunity to journey in community. You will not be going alone. You will be surrounded by a team of individuals who are also seeking growth, connection, and a deeper expression of faith through service. The relationships formed during this time often extend far beyond the trip itself.
If you are looking for an experience that will challenge your perspective, deepen your faith, and allow you to make a meaningful difference, this mission trip may be the next step for you.

UpsideDown Moments Clothing Drive
2026-08-09 09:00 - 12:00 | Floris UMC, 13600 Frying Pan Road, Herndon, VA, 20171
UpsideDown Moments Clothing Drive
Second Sunday of Every Month
A simple act of generosity can make a lasting difference in someone’s life. Each month, Floris United Methodist Church invites you to participate in our UpsideDown Moments Clothing Drive, an ongoing opportunity to share hope, dignity, and compassion with members of our community who are experiencing hardship.
On the second Sunday of every month, we welcome donations of gently used clothing for individuals of all ages, from infants to adults. Whether it’s children’s clothing that has been outgrown, professional attire you no longer wear, warm coats, everyday essentials, or seasonal apparel, your donations can become a meaningful blessing to someone in need.
Collected clothing is carefully gathered throughout the quarter and then distributed through Grace Ministry, helping individuals and families access quality clothing in a welcoming and supportive environment. Your generosity not only helps meet a practical need but also reminds our neighbors that they are seen, valued, and loved.
Before donating, please ensure that all clothing is clean, in good condition, and ready to be worn by its next owner. Thoughtfully donated items help us serve others with dignity while making the distribution process easier for our volunteers.
The UpsideDown Moments Clothing Drive is a wonderful way to practice faithful stewardship by giving new purpose to items you no longer need. Every donation, no matter how small, contributes to a larger mission of caring for our community and sharing Christ’s love through acts of service.
Join us each month and help make a difference—one article of clothing at a time. Together, we can provide comfort, encouragement, and hope for those facing difficult circumstances.
For more information about the clothing drive or how you can get involved, please contact Debbie Cali.

Pastor Drew’s Book Club: Unapologetic
Wednesdays | 7:00–8:30 PM
August 19, August 26 & September 2
Floris United Methodist Church
Have you ever struggled to explain why your faith still matters in today’s world? Or wondered how to talk about Christianity in a way that is honest, thoughtful, and grounded in real life? Join Pastor Drew for a three-week book club as we read and discuss Unapologetic: Why, Despite Everything, Christianity Can Still Make Surprising Emotional Sense by Francis Spufford.
Rather than offering a traditional defense of Christianity, Spufford shares a heartfelt and refreshingly honest account of what it means to follow Christ in a world where faith is often misunderstood or dismissed. With his signature wit, insightful storytelling, and engaging writing style, he explores the emotional and spiritual realities of Christian belief, acknowledging both the beauty and the challenges of living a life of faith. His approach is thoughtful, authentic, and often humorous, making this an engaging read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Christianity.
Whether you’ve been a Christian for many years, are exploring faith for the first time, or simply enjoy meaningful conversations about life and belief, this book club offers a welcoming space to read, reflect, and learn together. Pastor Drew will guide each week’s discussion, creating opportunities to explore the book’s themes, ask questions, share perspectives, and encourage one another in faith.
This three-week series is a wonderful opportunity to connect with others, deepen your understanding of the Christian faith, and engage with a thought-provoking book in a relaxed and welcoming environment. We encourage participants to attend all three sessions to get the most out of the discussion, but you’re welcome to join us even if you can’t make every week.
Registration is encouraged so we can plan accordingly. Reserve your spot using the registration link and join us as we journey through Unapologetic together.

We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday evenings from 7:00–8:30 PM at Floris United Methodist Church!
