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

SUMMARY:Community Changemakers event
DESCRIPTION:This May\, the church in Haveringland will host a free day-conference for people interested in the plight of rural churches. The conference is the final part of a transformational project in the church which has been funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund along with other funders. The project has delivered extensive repairs and improvements to the physical building along with an impressive programme of events and community engagement initiatives. \nChurches in rural areas face significant challenges and many are finding it hard to think positively about the future. This day conference on Friday 15th May at Haveringland Parish Church will explore the realities of rural parish life\, and provide some inspiration to take away with you. \nThere will be keynote talks from Bishop Jane Steen (Bishop of Lynn) and Nigel Walter (Archangel Architects – Cambridge). We’ll have panel discussions on church buildings and the environment\, community health and wellbeing\, transforming governance structures & exploring different models of church. \nCawston Vicar\, Rev’d Andrew Whitehead\, said “We’re delighted to be able to offer this day conference as part of the NLHF funded project in Haveringland. We’d like to share the experiences we’ve had and the lessons we’ve learnt\, as well as offering a place for people to come together and ask their own questions. Being involved in a rural church can make you feel vulnerable and isolated\, and we hope we can provide an opportunity for mutual support and encouragement.” \nThe venue for the conference is the amazing Haveringland Parish Church & Community Hub. The conference marks the end of a momentous £500\,000 project which has seen the remote and dilapidated church building transformed into a well-appointed facility which serves its community in fresh ways. You can find the church with the postcode: NR10 4FW or what3words: ///dent.palettes.probe \nThe conference is offered to you free of charge thanks to the generous support of the National Lottery Heritage Fund\, who have been major funders of the work we have done. All you have to do is register your place. We’ll even provide you with a free lunch and refreshments throughout the day. Places are limited\, so click here to register https://www.communitychangemakers.org.uk/ \nBook here: Home
