Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. (1 Thessalonians 5:1-2, NIV)
Advent is not just about getting ready to celebrate Christmas, but also when we think about Jesus return. We don't know when it will come, but we do know that it will come. How should we live as we wait for that day to arrive?
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 think about getting ready for Jesus’ return.
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.
