Now there were some Greeks … They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, with a request. ‘Sir,’ they said, ‘we would like to see Jesus.’ (John 12:20-21)
In John’s gospel, this meeting marks the start of Jesus heading to Jerusalem and his death. Why does Jesus need to do this? What will he achieve? What does it change for us?
You would be very welcome at our 10:30am service in St Andrew, Cuffley or at 9am for a service of Holy Communion in St Andrew, Cuffley, this Sunday, as we see Jesus head to Jerusalem.
The 10:30am Sunday morning service will also be streamed. This will start at 10:25am, and can be accessed directly via YouTube or Facebook, found on our website, and is advertised on our Facebook page and YouTube channel.

Hannah said to Eli, ‘Pardon me, my lord. As surely as you live, I am the woman who stood here beside you praying to the Lord. I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him. So now I give him to the Lord. For his whole life he shall be given over to the Lord.’ (1 Samuel 1:26-28)
This Sunday is Mothering Sunday, originally a day for people to return to their mother church. This might be their home church, cathedral, or the nearest large church. A day to recall their introduction to the Christian faith. More recently, this has become synonymous with Mother’s Day: a day to recall and celebrate the impact mothers have on our lives, and to celebrate family life.
In our readings, we’ll read about Hannah, who gave up her firstborn son and Mary who, as her son was dying, had a new family provided for her. We see how God provides for his people, and how he cares for us.
We’re also being joined by Northaw School’s Choir.
You would be very welcome at our 10:30am service in St Andrew, Cuffley or at 9am for a service of Holy Communion in St Andrew, Cuffley, this Sunday, as we mark Mothering Sunday together.
