KEY ACTIVITIES & EVENTS BY MINISTRY AREA Worship Ministries – 2014 Highlights: 

 





Diversity was a major theme for 2014. We welcomed our Latino congregation into our Sunday worship services in September after the departure of Rev. Julio Serrano. This change resulted from the realization that we want to be one integrated church and that requires us to worship as one church. We also welcomed Nadeem Khokhar as a new associate pastor. His appointment affords us the opportunity through language and culture to reach the growing South Asian demographic in our community. Nadeem’s presence in worship along with the intentional recruitment of other South Asian persons to serve during worship has expanded diversity in worship. We have also intentionally recruited a diverse group of persons to read scriptures, serve communion and engage in other serve opportunities connected to worship. Rev. Nadeem Khokhar led a Christmas day multicultural service. Families from South Asia are accustomed to attending church services on Christmas day and Nadeem had 83 persons attend this special service. After the service they enjoyed connecting with one another and celebrating with Indian food catered by Minerva restaurant. Imagine Sunday provided our entire worship team an opportunity to work collaboratively to provide an excellent worship experience in celebration of our Imagine campaign initiatives. The rebuilding of our children’s music program has increased attendance by about 50%. Our children’s vocal choirs now meet between Sunday school hours and this has allowed more parents and children to participate. We believe that music is one way children become grounded in faith. Vacation Bible School (VBS) Sunday was a joyful experience. We invited all children and families to be part of worship, with a special focus on those families who were new to Floris and VBS. We built the service around the children, remembering that many were new to Methodism and even to Christ. This was a great collaborative effort between Children’s Ministries and Worship. Our special services during the year blessed many persons. Our Lenten Communion services averaged 40 persons each week, our prayer and healing services provided opportunities for our congregation to spend intentional time in prayer together and the Darkness to Light service was attended by more than 140 persons. We believe these special services offer an additional worship style that helps participants experience God in a fresh way.

New in Worship in 2015  We are working to create opportunities for our congregation to invite the “Dones” (those who have stopped coming to church) and the “Nones” (those who have no religious affiliation) to worship so that more persons might come to know the love of Christ.  We will focus on building greater diversity within our worship team so that the surrounding community will be better reflected in our worshipping congregation.  We will continue to explore ways to encourage greater involvement in worship, particularly singing during hymns and songs.

Grow Ministries - 2014 Highlights Organizationally, 2014 was a year of strategic hiring, alignment and focus. Key areas of strategic focus and alignment were:  The Floris UMC Preschool was folded into the reporting structure of Grow Ministries. This move has allowed us to better leverage the Floris preschool parent population. The restructure has also supported our global diversity initiative. Nearly 50% of the children enrolled in the preschool are South Asian. In recognition of this growing demographic in the preschool, we targeted communications, events and programs to this demographic with help from our new Associate Pastor on staff, Nadeem Khokhar.  With the hiring of Children’s Ministries Director, Kelly Crespin, and Renee Williams as our Children’s Program Coordinator, 2014 has been a fantastic year in Kid Nation. Kelly came to Floris with experience from a large UMC in Texas and a Master’s Degree in elementary education from the University of Virginia. Kelly and Renee have brought renewal and revitalization to our Kid Nation program.  Navarone Frank was hired as our Middle School Program Director. He joined us in August and hit the ground running with a mission trip in his first week on the job, followed by planning for a successful fall kick-off. This is a critical, but tough to reach age group, and Navarone has demonstrated a genuine connectedness with the students, which has resulted in his success in attracting and retaining students in this group.  Bill Gray, Director of Grow Ministries, began a course of study at Wesley Theological Seminary. With a focus on Theology, Bill will add an academic compliment to his discipleship experience and knowledge. Programmatically, 2014 was a year of innovation and creativity. Highlights pertaining to each of the Grow Ministries areas are below: Children’s Ministries The focus in Children’s Ministries was on curriculum and the identification of educational elements that should be taught and mastered at each grade level. In September we launched the first ever scope and sequence educational plan for Sunday school. Flowing out of this plan is the weekly Sunday school educational component developed by Kelly Crespin, the Children’s Ministries Director. Each week’s lesson is loaded on the web and accessible by the teachers who are then sourced with appropriate materials for Sunday morning instruction.  The scope and sequence guide allows us to plan lessons for children 3 years through 5th grade that illustrate the levels of Bible skills each grade will learn. Categories such as Christian terms and images, the Bible, worship, relating faith to daily life and prayer all have a grade level appropriate learning objective that is cumulative. We are able to measure retention of concepts through periodic “tests” with the children. Our goal in 2015 is to tie these learning objectives to Confirmation requirements for our 8th grade students with a goal of being able to offer a continual learning path that actually prepares students for Confirmation instead of leaning on Confirmation as the core discipleship opportunity for our children and students.  The Kid Nation program kicked-off with a total of 286 children aged 3 years through 5th grade. This is a 4% increase from last year.  The structure of Kid Nation changed significantly through the creation of a rotational teaching model that doubled the number of Sunday school teachers to 75. The teachers are supported by approximately 75 Students in Ministry (SIMs) on Sunday mornings. Both the teachers and SIMs were required to attend a training session before the fall launch. 3

The F.I.S.H. (Fifth In Service for Him) program was developed and launched. This program targets only 5th graders and helps these students meet and form relationships with other 5th graders, learn leadership skills, participate in service projects and mostly have fun. By forming friendships and getting connected in the life of the church, 5th graders are less anxious as they transition into the middle school program, Crossroads. Our goal in 2015 is to provide more opportunities for the 5th graders to interact with Crossroads volunteers, which will help with retention of students as they move into 6th grade. We are averaging 30 students per month with approximately 25% of these students coming as guests of Floris members. The halls in our Children’s Ministries area have come alive through artwork with messages for and from the children. Murals, Bible lessons and interactive art projects are now routinely displayed along the halls and afford persons who visit the second floor an opportunity to see what the children are learning and doing on Sunday mornings. The feedback has been positive with many commenting that the halls feel “alive” and “full of activity.” Vacation Bible School (VBS) was a challenge with the change in the Fairfax County Public School calendar to accommodate the unusually large number of snow days in the winter. With the theme of “Worship of Wonders,” we hosted 375 preschool through 5th grade children and were supported by over 100 volunteers.

Student Ministries Intentionally connecting with our student population was the goal of 2014. Several initiatives were started to support this and key accomplishments are listed below.  To support the transition of students from the middle school to high school program, confirmation graduates were invited to a special party welcoming them to KREW. Forty of the 56 confirmation students remained connected as a result. Rising freshman were also targeted as upper class students passed out “First Day Goody Bags” to encourage the freshmen on their first day of high school and to welcome them to KREW.  Rising 6th graders were personally greeted when Ashley and Navarone visited door-to-door to invite these students to our Crossroads program and kick-off ice cream social.  Targeted invitations to existing students as well as new rising students resulted in a very successful 2014 launch with 117 middle school students (14% increase from prior year) and 86 high school students (15% increase from prior year) in attendance.  One hundred and six students attended mission trips during the summer of 2014.  We have been measuring student attendance trends by monitoring monthly unique attenders. On average, 100 high school students and 135 middle school students are connected to the group. Additionally, our Sunday morning small group has doubled in size from the prior year with 24 students attending weekly at 11 a.m.  Student Ministries began sending hand-written notes of encouragement and thanks to those students who attend the Sunday night program and various retreats.  Special events, such as laser tag for 8th graders, are being created and targeted to those students experiencing inconsistent connection with student ministries. This is an ongoing focus area and will be continued in the coming year.  We have created monthly high school prayer breakfasts, held once a week at four local area schools, including Oakton, South Lakes, Westfield and Chantilly.  We created a high school praise band called Higher Ground, which led worship for the high school retreat and for the first confirmation retreat in 2015.

Adult Ministries Emphasis in adult ministries continues to be on the creation of a pathway and appropriate supporting levels of study for people as they grow in their discipleship.  After several attempts at creating a “Journey 101” program based on another large church model, the Knowing/Loving/Serving God series was discontinued due to a lack of participation and relevance for Floris participants. Our goal in 2015 is to continue to experiment with new entry-level courses that will complement the Disciple series of education. A new offering from Cokesbury titled Covenant is currently being tested with one group and preliminary reviews are positive.  One hundred and three of the 751 persons enrolled in all small groups were in core Christian education classes such as Disciple and Alpha. Our goal in 2015 is to have 25% of small group participants in a core curriculum class. Overall, our small group participation within the congregation is strong at approximately 65% of our average weekly worship attendance. Sustaining or increasing that level of participation is our goal in 2015 as we work to provide more training for our adult group leaders on how to encourage consistent group attendance.  We offered a church-wide Lenten study based on Adam Hamilton’s The Way. The study was offered through 32 groups with over 600 participants. Eighty persons in the Lenten study were new to a small group experience.  The fall small group kick-off was started by training for the adult small group leaders who attended a two hour session on conflict resolution and how to handle conflict in a group. Thirtysix (69%) of the group leaders attended the session, which was hosted by professionals from the congregation who specialize in conflict resolution, coaching and motivation. Training on this particular topic was deliberate and strategic as the denomination enters into “Holy Conversations,” a series of discussions around the topic of homosexuality.  Making Sense of the Bible by Adam Hamilton was offered as a base study for Tom Berlin’s September “Hot Topics” sermon series that dealt with several challenging topics for Christians ranging from Bible inerrancy to abortion. Weekly sessions led by Tom and Barbara Miner averaged 80 to 90 participants. Additionally, there were five small groups with 60 participants that met to read Hamilton’s book and discuss these topics.  Our Wesley Speaker Series offered participants five stand-alone evenings of spiritual growth opportunities. Over 300 people attended these sessions that included Dr. Bruce Birch who spoke on The Old Testament in Two Hours, Dr. Kendal Soulen on Cosmology & Evolution, Science and Faith, and Dr. Hopkins who offered A Pastoral View of Violence in the Bible.

There will be a continued focus on strategic synergies between children, student and adult ministries. The 8th grade confirmation material will be re-examined in light of the new scope and sequence programming in Children’s Ministries to ensure a seamless transition for students as they move from Sunday school to middle school discipleship programs. Children’s Ministries is working on new programming opportunities related to summer programming in Kid’s Quest and in the FISH program. Children’s and Student Ministries will work together to develop and offer parental education and family oriented programs. Adult Ministries will be offering more short-term discipleship small group opportunities for an on-ramp to small group participation.



The spiritual assessment tool has been improved and will be rolled out this year in conjunction with new small group opportunities.

In total, approximately 978 volunteers served over 16,000 volunteer hours in service to their community through Floris programs and through national and international mission opportunities. Floris started one of its largest ministries to date with the Floris Guest House, a hypothermia shelter offered in conjunction with FACETS. Approximately 376 people volunteered to serve our guests for one week in the month of January. Giving at Floris was exceptional this year through the following ministries: o Help Hungry Kids distributed more than 5,000 weekend meal bags to Hutchison, McNair and Clearview Elementary Schools. We also provided support to other non-profits with similar programs. o The Easter Basket Ministry, working with community partner organizations, distributed approximately 700 baskets to children and teens living in transitional housing and shelters. o The Advent Giving Ministry collected over 2,000 gifts for children and families through our community partnerships. o The Alternative Giving Program raised nearly $10,000 for Helping Children Worldwide and the Help Hungry Kids program. Floris continued its support for Hutchison Elementary School through the English as a Second Language program, mentoring and Camp Hutchison. These programs rely on more than 200 volunteers serving hundreds of adults and students.

New in Serve in 2015  This will be the second year Floris will host the homeless through the Floris Guest House in midFebruary.  Based on planning, afterschool programs are scheduled to begin in partnership with Hutchison Elementary School in the fall of 2015.

Congregational Care Ministries – 2014 Highlights 



      

We hosted a Celebrate Recovery One Day Seminar in February with approximately 1000 participants who experienced great worship and training workshops. One workshop was for churches interested in starting a Celebrate Recovery ministry and the other workshop offered advanced leadership training. Our Celebrate Recovery Ministry started “12 Step” groups for both men and women to expand community and support within the ministry. These groups run for 9-12 months and focus on recovery. We held a 6-week addiction support group led by onsite counselor Grace Keenan. We supported 12 memorial services and three of these services had over 500 persons in attendance. In partnership with NAMI (National Alliance of Mental Illness), we hosted a NAMI presentation and support group to assist parents of children coping with mental illness. We started a Caregivers of Dementia Support Group led by Nancy Dezan. We added several new Congregational Care Ministers (CCMs) to this special ministry that supports our pastors in congregational care. In partnership with the American Chronic Pain Association, we started a chronic pain support group led by Sandra Ordonez. As part of the DC area Globe-a-thon to raise money for women’s cancer research, we hosted a showing of the movie “NED – No Evidence of Disease.”

New in Congregational Care in 2015  We hosted an interest meeting in hopes of starting an adoption ministry at Floris. Mary Chamberlain has agreed to lead this new ministry. The goal in the coming year is to have regular meetings to support families in the process of adopting a child or have just completed an adoption.  We have a speaker coming in late January to talk about living and thriving with autoimmune disease and we hope to start a support group for persons coping with chronic autoimmune illnesses.  We will be hosting new workshops from Fairfax County related to services for older adults.  We will start Congregational Care Minister training again in the fall for persons who wish to become CCMs.

Communications Ministry – 2014 Highlights The Communications team worked on roughly 195 projects in support of the ministries of Floris and Restoration - an average of 16 a month. Website:  We designed and implemented a new website for Restoration Church and redesigned the Floris UMC website. Both sites have responsive designs and include social media hubs. o The Floris website has roughly 6,000 visits per month. Live stream and the media library are the two most visited pages. In December 2014 there were 1,000 more visits than in December 2013 - 42% of those visits came from first time visitors to the site.  We designed and implemented a live stream user interface that includes the ability to submit prayer requests, take sermon notes, register attendance and give online. o Roughly 40% of those who join us via live stream register their attendance. Based on that data, we can extrapolate that the average live stream site has 1.7 individuals watching. The average number of sites on a Sunday is 126.  The average number of plays of a particular sermon in the media library is roughly 640 with a monthly high of 982 in September and a low of 392 in July. o Four of the ten most watched videos were from the “Together” sermon series. The second most watched video was the 2013 Cantata. Social Media and e-Communications:  Our Facebook page has 1,666 likes and continues to grow. High impact posts reach as many as 3,500 people (e.g., Join us for Christmas Services). o In 2014 we began running Facebook ad campaigns. A week-long campaign in September reached 68,000 people. A month long series of campaigns in December reached a more focused group of 110,000.  The eNote distribution list includes 1700 email ids. It continues to have readership and click through rates above industry averages. Other Initiatives:  Communications support for the Imagine campaign included the creation of a vision brochure, detail brochure, giving card, web page, videos for each initiative, a Floris UMC history video and a first fruits video, as well as daily devotionals and weekly electronic messages to the congregation.  We developed a new logo in conjunction with the redesign of the website that would work for both Floris and Restoration.  In support of Restoration Church, we investigated possible names and the receptivity to those names, provided promotional support for three preview services, two events (the Oktoberfest and Christmas at the Town Center), created three Christmas mailers, a Facebook ad campaign and a banner for South Lakes High School gymnasium. New in Communications in 2015  We will be working on improvements to the search feature on the website.  We will begin capturing stories of transformation within the congregation and the community and finding creative ways to communicate these stories.  We hope to improve readership of and engagement with the eNote.

IMAGINE CAMPAIGN STRATEGIC INITIATIVES Restoration Church – 2014 Highlights 

 



From July to December, we developed and implemented a business plan for the launch of Restoration Church. After three preview services in the fall, we launched Restoration on January 4, 2015, and are averaging well over 100 persons in weekly attendance. We created a partnership with Forest Edge Elementary to hold weekly worship services in the school as well as support the school and surrounding community through mission and outreach opportunities. We created a launch team for Restoration Church, which includes more than 80 persons from Floris who are committed to starting the new campus in Reston. We set up booths at the Reston Farmer’s Market and Oktoberfest in Reston to gain name recognition and meet new people in the community. We continue to focus on creating opportunities for Restoration to be recognized in the community. As a result, we engaged over 1,000 persons in discussions about what we’re doing at Restoration. We held a “Celebrate Christmas in the Town Center” event. This event attracted over 200 persons. It was a great night with persons coming together from the community and Restoration/Floris to sing Christmas songs and spend time together.

New at Restoration in 2015  We plan to launch a summer camp in the Forest Edge Community.  We will develop sports team experiences for children at Forest Edge elementary.  We will launch a parent’s homework program for the students at Forest Edge.  We plan to hold two Easter Services at Restoration.

OPERATIONS/ADMINISTRATION – 2014 HIGHLIGHTS 

  

We installed a Keyless Entry system on eight main entrance doors and the preschool interior door. o Features of the system include:  Scheduled locking and unlocking of the doors.  Remote locking and unlocking via a secure website.  Keyless entry by staff and key volunteers using a fob, card key or 5-digit code.  Controlled entry by groups that meet off-hours with a code that only functions during their scheduled meeting date and time.  Remote setting of the intrusion alarm if needed.  Audit trail of access and attempted access.  Notification via text message of power failure or other system events. o The system was brought on line in controlled stages to uncover and remediate any system issues. The system is now active on floors one and two and the gathering space door. We are waiting for the completion of a repair on one of the hydraulic doors (not part of the keyless system, but needed for it to fully function correctly) before the remaining doors come on line. o The system is expected to be fully operational by January 30. In March, we replaced the evening and weekend facilities techs (two persons) with a contract cleaning crew responsible for the primary custodial maintenance of the building. The result has been a cleaner and more thoroughly maintained facility. We installed professional room signage throughout the building. We installed new carpet in the first and second floor stairwells and landing areas. We replaced the wooden steps in the lower parking lot with commercial grade concrete stairs, handrails and lights.

Bond Release Update  All frontage work is complete with the exception of the guardrail extension on the turn lane into the property.  All frontage work is preliminarily approved by Fairfax County. There will be a final inspection by VDOT once the guardrail is installed.  The guardrail permit package was submitted prior to Christmas. Approval is expected by January 30.  The guardrail installation will be approximately two weeks after the issuance of the permit, assuming there are no weather related delays.  Remaining items: o Fire lane inspection by Fairfax County Fire Marshal. o Storm water retention system inspection. Cleaning of the filters is expected. o Final Inspection. o Paperwork completion and submission for bond release.
