Francis of Assisi:
Off the Birdbath and into Our Hearts
with Gaen Murphree
in the Upper Meeting Room
Francis of Assisi is likely the most popular saint in Christendom - for believers and non-believers alike. Yet we know him superficially. Gaen will lead us through key moments in his life and his transformation from a wealthy party boy to a barefoot seeker of God’s love.
Over the two sessions we’ll look at a representative writing, by Francis and consider key stories about him. There will be opportunities for personal reflections, sharing, and discussions as we understand Saint Francis more deeply.
