SUMMARY:Walking in the way of St Francis - with Brother Sam
DESCRIPTION:Walking in the Way of St. Francis\nSaturday\, 11th April\, 2:30pm-4:00pm & 6:30pm-7:30pm\nSt. Francis Church\, Rider Haggard Road\, Norwich NR7 9UQ \n \nJoin us for a special opportunity to reflect on the life and legacy of St. Francis of Assisi\, as we mark the 800th anniversary of his passing. These two events at St. Francis Church invite all ages and backgrounds to come together in the spirit of St. Francis\, whose love for Christ and creation continues to inspire Christians of every tradition. \nAt 2:30pm-4:00pm\, we invite families\, individuals\, and communities to an outdoor wildcraft session—a hands-on\, joyful time of connecting with God’s creation. There will be banner-making and nature art\, free minor bike repairs\, hot chocolate\, and toasting of marshmallows over our fire pit. Together\, with Brother Sam\, we’ll explore how God’s love shines through nature and how we can deepen our care for His world. \nAt 6:30pm\, Brother Sam\, a well-known Franciscan speaker\, author\, and retreat leader will share the story of St. Francis\, a man who profoundly followed Jesus with radical love and simplicity\, and how his life can still speak to us today—calling us to embrace a life of humility\, peace\, and devotion. Brother Sam will also reflect on how St. Francis’ example can inspire us to live more fully in the love of Christ and care for His creation. \nBrother Sam is a Franciscan living in a vibrant community in Plaistow\, London\, where the challenges of homelessness and isolation are met with a radical hospitality rooted in prayer and love. Known for his ministry at Hilfield Friary in Dorset\, and more recently in a community in Plaistow\, London\, he has long been dedicated to prayer\, sustainable living\, environmental care\, and offering a welcoming space for those in need. His life and work are a powerful reminder that the Way of St. Francis offers a profound re-orientation of our hearts—calling us to live out our faith with love for Christ and a deep reverence for the world He made. \nThere is a free event and there is no need to book.  Everyone is welcome to join us for these two special gatherings\, where we’ll walk together in the spirit of St. Francis\, exploring faith\, creation\, and community. \nFor further information contact: revjulianbryant@gmail.com \n  \n  \n
