SUMMARY:Art Gallery: Altered Perception by Linda Syverson Guild
DESCRIPTION:Altered Perception: By Linda Syverson Guild\nDiscover the art of seeing familiar materials in entirely new ways. \nFloris is pleased to welcome artist Linda Syverson Guild and her exhibition\, Altered Perception\, featuring a collection of quilt-inspired artwork that invites viewers to look beyond traditional expectations of textile art. \nThrough her creative approach to quilting\, Linda transforms fabric\, color\, pattern\, and texture into works of art that challenge the way we see and experience familiar materials. Her work encourages viewers to consider how individual elements come together to create something unexpected\, turning everyday textiles into expressions of creativity\, perspective\, and artistic exploration. \nQuilting has a rich tradition rooted in craftsmanship\, storytelling\, and the thoughtful arrangement of materials. In Altered Perception\, that tradition becomes an opportunity to explore new possibilities. By reimagining the relationship between fabric\, design\, and visual composition\, Linda invites viewers to look more closely at the details\, discover unexpected connections\, and appreciate the artistry found in each piece. \nAs you explore the exhibition\, take time to notice the interplay of colors\, shapes\, patterns\, and textures. Each work offers an opportunity to experience familiar materials from a different perspective and consider how a shift in perception can transform the ordinary into something extraordinary. \nAltered Perception is more than an exhibition of quilt work. It is an invitation to slow down\, embrace creativity\, and discover the artistic possibilities that emerge when we are willing to see things differently. \nWhether you appreciate textile arts\, enjoy exploring new forms of artistic expression\, or simply want to experience something inspiring\, Altered Perception offers a fresh perspective and an opportunity to engage with art in an unexpected way. \nCome experience Altered Perception by Linda Syverson Guild and discover how fabric\, imagination\, and artistic vision come together throughout the gallery. \nExplore the Floris Art Gallery to learn more about Altered Perception and the artists who have been featured in the gallery. \nVisit the Floris Art Gallery → \nLearn more about the artist: Visit Linda Syverson Guild’s website →

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 21 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 21\, 2026. There is no cost to participate. \nRegister Here >
