I would like to share special thanks to all brothers and sisters in Christ for your help and devoted hearts for the Fall Music Festival! Even though the weather was really nasty, the festival was very inspiring and full of energy. It is just amazing to see how much God has given people in various talents, and lives styles. The beauty of God's world is in diversity; colorful! He made all creatures differently. He likes that. It is not easy to accept differences with others often, but still... we need to learn how to live in harmony. Harmony made up of all different notes. If it is from same notes, it can't be a harmony.
I have felt how God has been plesed with our open hearts to accept diversities in His world.
I pray that Floris UMC may grow deeply in God's vision to represent God's colorful beautiful world.
Thank you all so much!

Enough
We have started a new sermon series with a book "Enough" by Adam Hamilton. It was a such blessing personally to have to think about again what things to remember in my life through last week sermon and reading the book. I am looking forward to learning more through this series.
Celebration choir and Sanctuary choir will sing together "I will serve You" on this Sunday as our anthem. It is arranged with incorporating of the children's choir singing a hymn "For the Beauty of the earth". It is a beautiful anthem to praise!
The Floris String will also lift their music up to the Lord during the offertory with Handel's "Largo".
The Christmas Cantata rehearsals have been going really well with many Cantata singers! I have been enjoying a lot, and looking forward to having more people to praise Him!
As you all know, our Fall music festival is coming up soon on October 29th at 7:00 in our church! It is free but there will be an offering time to support "Connections for Hope" during the Festival. I am so excited that many singers from all over the world will join us! Please come to celebrate God's colorful world through music!
Here is lyric of our anthem this week.
For the beauty of the earth, for the glory of the skies, for the love which from our birth over and around us lies, Lord of all, to You we raise . This our hymn of grateful praise.
I will serve You, Creator, Savior, I will serve You because I love You.
Every sunrise reminds me, Jesus, You are my lord, and I, I will serve You.
Lord of all, Creator of all, Lord of life, Lord of Lord and King of kings;
Lord of all, this prayer toYou we raise: that our life may be a hymn of grateful praise.
