SUMMARY:Earth Day: Battery Recycling
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Earth Day with Purpose\nJoin us in honoring Earth Day by making a meaningful impact in your community. Our Environmental Justice and Stewardship team is hosting a battery recycling event\, and you’re invited to take part in this simple yet powerful act of care for our planet. \nWhy Battery Recycling Matters\nMany household batteries end up in landfills\, where they can leak harmful chemicals into the soil and water. Recycling them properly helps reduce environmental harm and supports responsible stewardship of the resources we’ve been given. \nWhat to Bring\nWe welcome batteries of all sizes commonly used in the home\, from small everyday batteries to larger household types. Simply bring your used batteries and place them in the designated collection bins. Our team will take care of the rest. \nMake an Impact Together\nThis is a great opportunity to declutter your home while contributing to a healthier environment. It’s also a chance to come together as a community and live out our shared commitment to caring for creation. \nJoin Us\nWhether you’ve been saving up old batteries or just have a few to recycle\, every contribution makes a difference. Be part of this Earth Day effort and help us build a culture of stewardship and environmental responsibility.

SUMMARY:South Asian Worship & Fellowship
DESCRIPTION:South Asian Worship & Fellowship\nOn the first Saturday of every month\, Floris UMC opens its doors for a special evening of fellowship and worship designed to bring together families and individuals from India\, Pakistan\, and beyond. This monthly gathering is a unique opportunity to celebrate culture\, community\, and faith in a welcoming and supportive environment. \nEach gathering includes time to connect with others as well as to join together in worship. You’ll have the chance to meet new friends\, share in meaningful conversations\, and strengthen relationships while also experiencing the joy of praising God as a community. Families will find this to be a wonderful setting to introduce children to the richness of cultural traditions while also being part of a caring and diverse church family. Whether you are new to the area\, exploring faith\, or simply seeking a place to belong\, you’ll discover that this is a space where everyone is valued and welcomed. \nThe worship experience is designed to be both uplifting and inclusive\, blending elements of United Methodist tradition with the vibrant spirit of our diverse community. Through prayer\, scripture\, and music\, we lift our hearts to God and celebrate the love of Christ that unites us across cultures and languages. At the same time\, the fellowship component allows us to build lasting connections\, nurture friendships\, and encourage one another in faith. \nThis gathering isn’t just about attending a service or a program—it’s about being part of something larger: a community that reflects the beauty of God’s diverse family. We invite you to bring your family\, invite friends\, and come ready to experience the warmth of connection and the joy of worship. \nJoin us on the first Saturday of each month and be part of this meaningful celebration of faith and community. \nFor more information or if you have questions\, please contact Megan Dietrick.
