SUMMARY:Bread Sunday
DESCRIPTION:Bread Sunday: Bake\, Share\, and Inspire\nBread is more than food—it’s a universal symbol of community\, hospitality\, and nourishment. That’s why we’re celebrating Bread Sunday as part of the Floris Feeds the World campaign—and we want you to be part of it! \nHere’s how it works: bake your own bread at home. It could be your favorite family recipe\, a new bread you’ve always wanted to try\, or a loaf inspired by a culture around the world. Then\, bring your bread to church on Bread Sunday to share with others after worship. Together we’ll enjoy breads from many traditions\, experiencing the beauty of hospitality and community around the table. \nIf you’re part of our online community\, you can still join in! Take a photo of your creation and post it on social media. Be sure to tag Floris UMC and use our campaign hashtag #FlorisFeeds40K so your bread can inspire others. \nBread connects us to our global neighbors. Around the world\, families gather with many different kinds of bread—baguettes\, tortillas\, injera\, naan\, flatbreads—and each carries its own story. Just as bread nourishes the body\, every meal packaged through Rise Against Hunger nourishes a child\, a family\, or a community in need. \nBy participating in Bread Sunday\, you’re not just baking—you’re spreading awareness\, sharing joy\, and helping to feed thousands. And don’t forget to check back here to see our community bread gallery\, featuring photos from across the congregation. It will be a celebration of creativity\, generosity\, and the spirit of coming together for a greater purpose. \nSo\, preheat the oven\, gather your loved ones\, and join us for Bread Sunday. Together\, let’s turn something as simple as bread into a movement of hope and nourishment for the world. \nNo Registration Needed!

SUMMARY:Western North Carolina Mission Trip

From hurricanes and flooding to tornadoes\, our mission teams have brought hope and help to areas across the country.

This work continues as long as there are communities in need of recovery. \nOur next UMVIM Team to Western North Carolina is March 22–27. 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.

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
