The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 15:56-57)
Death feels painful and permanent, and an impossibe enemy to cheat or beat. The good news of the gospel is that we don’t have to beat death - Jesus Christ has done that for us. Jesus’ victory over death is given to us by God so that we can share his eternal life.
I hope you can join us this Sunday as we look at the final part of 1 Corinthians 15, and the glorious truths of the resurrection to eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ.
You would be very welcome to join us at our 10:30am service in St Andrew, Cuffley, or at 8:30am for a service of Holy Communion in St Thomas, Northaw, this Sunday, as we continue to look together at the resurrection.

Streaming for the 10:30am service will start at 10:25am, and can be accessed directly via Facebook or YouTube, found on our website, and is advertised on our Facebook page and YouTube channel.

Supporting Ukraine
As well as our prayers, there are various appeals raising funds to support those fleeing the conflict and those who cannot leave. Two that you might like to consider are:
The Diocese of St Albans also has some details on some ways we can help support Ukraine.
We are also able to support the Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain via the Foodbank. More details of what they are collecting for and what they need are available on our [website][https://norcuff.com/ukraine].
Faculty Application
The parish is applying for a faculty to demolish and back-fill the old boiler house at St Thomas. The building is redundant, and water from the roof has caused considerable damage to the interior of the side chapel. The public notice and other documents are available on the website.
