In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will (Ephesians 1:4-5)
We’re continuing our look at who we are. The Bible says that we are loved by God, and that love is what means we have been chosen for adoption as his children. Can there be anything greater than knowing we are loved by God?
You would be very welcome 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 look together what the Bible says about who we are.
We are pleased to welcome Charlotte and Lucy, and their parents and godparents, for their baptism in St Andrew this Sunday morning.
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.
If you encounter problems with viewing the service via Facebook (or YouTube) please follow the link for YouTube (or Facebook) instead.

Children’s Church
Our children’s church continues this Sunday morning in the Undercroft (underneath the main building). Children are welcome from 10:20, and will join us in the main part of the building at the end of the service. Children are also welcome to stay for the baptism, before going downstairs, if they would like.
St Andrew’s Walkway
After a fair amount of delay, it is great to have a date for work to start on relacing the walkway roof/floor covering. Work will be starting on Monday 23rd October, and shouldn’t last more than about 5 weeks. There should be level access available for all of our Sunday and Wednesday services and activities. If you have any concerns or queries, please be in touch with Chris, the vicar (chris@norcuff.com).
Annual Memorial Service
Our annual memorial service will be on the afternoon of Sunday 5th November at 3pm at St Andrew, Cuffley. At the service we will remember by name those known to the church who have died in the last three years; there will then be the opportunity for everybody to light candles in memory of loved ones, whether departed recently or long ago.
Email invitations have already been sent out, if you would like to be added to the contact list, or know someone who would, please sign up online.
Work in Northaw churchyard
You may have seen the notice on the cedar tree on the north side of the churchyard indicating its removal during October. The tree has unfortunately become rotten at the base and needs to be removed before it falls down.
Home Communion

Rotas
