Lord, do not forsake me; do not be far from me, my God. Come quickly to help me, my Lord and my Saviour. (Psalm 38:21-22, NIV))
Where do we look when things go wrong? When school is horrid, work is hard, or life just seems unfair - where do we turn for help? What about when we are the ones who have messed up? Where to we go for help then? The answer from the psalm is to appeal to God for help.
You would be very welcome to join us at our 10:30am service of Holy Communion in St Andrew, Cuffley, or at 8:30am for a service of Holy Communion in St Thomas, Northaw, this Sunday, as we look together at Psalm 38.
The 10:30am Sunday morning service will be taking place simultaneously online and in-person at St Andrew. 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.

Children’s Church
There is no children’s church this Sunday, as we all meet together in the main body of the building.
Vision Sunday
Next Sunday (11th September), we will be looking at our church’s vision for the next few years. We’ll see what we have achieved so far, what still needs to be done, and some of our plans for the future. I hope you’ll be able to join us, as we celebrate God’s goodness to us, seek his wisdom and guidance for the future, and see how we can work together to glorify God, grow disciples and share the good news.
Morning prayer
You would be very welcome to join us for a short service of Morning Prayer in St Andrew at 10:00am on Wednesday morning.
Coffee Shop
Our weekly in person Coffee Shop will be taking place this Wednesday from 10:30 to 12:30 in St Andrew, Cuffley, you are very welcome to join us.

Praying during the week
We try to send out an email each week with suggestions for your prayers. If you would like to make any suggestions, please email prayers@norcuff.com.
Faculty Application
The parish is applying for a faculty to install cavity wall insulation in St Andrew. This is part of making the main body of the church more useable, and helping to reduce the heating costs. There will be no change to either the exterior or interior of the building. The public notice is available on the website.
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].
