Heartsease: St Francis, Norwich

About our church
Set at the centre of the Heartsease Estate, St. Francis is the Parish Church for the Estate and the Greenborough Road area of Sprowston. The main Sunday service is at 10.30am. This service reflects the Church’s warmth and its love of the Gospel. Other opportunities for worship are also available. St.Francis’ is very much a community church, with its buildings in use throughout the week, and with activities for all ages and diverse interests. These include, House Groups,"TM's", "Frankie’s" and "The Pen" clubs for children and young people, Brownies, "Babblers" and "Tiddlywinks" for Mums & Toddlers, Support Group for Families where there is a child with attention disorder (ADHD) and associated syndromes, and a Friendship Club. St.Francis is also the base for the ecumenical Heartsease Community Project that runs a luncheon club, coffee bar and ‘listening ear’ service.
