SUMMARY:Advent Food Drive
DESCRIPTION:Share Hope This Advent: Join Our Advent Food Drive\nAdvent is a season of hope\, love\, peace\, and generosity. As we prepare our hearts for the celebration of Christ’s birth\, we invite you to put faith into action by participating in our Advent Food Drive. \nThis seasonal food collection brings our congregation together to support individuals and families in need throughout our community. By donating nonperishable food items\, you can help provide essential nourishment to our neighbors and remind them that they are not alone. \nGive the Gift of Nourishment\nFor many individuals and families\, access to food can be a daily challenge\, especially during the holiday season. Our Advent Food Drive offers a meaningful opportunity to help meet this need while sharing the compassion and love at the heart of the Christmas season. \nEvery donation\, no matter the size\, can make a difference. A few cans of vegetables\, a box of pasta\, or a package of rice may seem like a small contribution\, but together\, our gifts can help provide meals and bring comfort to those facing food insecurity. \nYou do not have to make a large donation to have a meaningful impact. Every item given is an opportunity to care for our neighbors and serve our community. \nPut Your Faith Into Action\nThroughout Advent\, we remember the hope and love Jesus brings into the world. The Advent Food Drive is one way we can reflect that love through practical acts of kindness and service. \nWhether you contribute a few pantry staples or encourage your family and friends to participate\, you are helping build a community where people care for one another. This is an opportunity for individuals and families of all ages to embrace the spirit of giving and make generosity part of their Advent traditions. \nAs we prepare to celebrate Christmas\, let’s remember that the season is about more than the gifts we exchange. It is also about the love we share\, the needs we help meet\, and the hope we bring to others. \nItems Needed for Our Advent Food Drive\nHelp us nourish our neighbors this Advent season by donating the following nonperishable food items. Every contribution makes a difference! \n\nRice: 1–5 lb bags\nPeanut butter\nJelly\nMasa: 5 lb bags\nSpaghetti: 1 lb packages\nSpaghetti sauce: Jars\nCanned vegetables and beans\nCanned fruit\nCanned chicken or tuna\nCooking oil: 24 oz bottles\n\nThank you for your generosity and for helping us share hope and care with individuals and families in our community! \nHow to Donate\nYou can support the Advent Food Drive by donating nonperishable food items during our collection hours. Consider checking your pantry\, adding a few extra items to your grocery list\, or inviting others to join you in giving. \nFood collection hours: \n\nMonday–Thursday: 8:30 a.m.–4:00 p.m.\nSunday: 7:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m.\n\nPlease plan your drop-off during these designated hours. \nShare Hope This Advent\nAs we prepare to celebrate Christmas\, let’s remember that even a small act of generosity can make a meaningful difference in someone’s life. \nTogether\, we can nourish our neighbors\, strengthen our community\, and share the love of Christ\, one donation at a time. Thank you for being part of this season of giving and for helping make our community a place of compassion\, generosity\, and care.

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 May 16–22. 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 \nRegistration is no longer open\, the team is ready to go!Dates: May 16–22\, 2027
