Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, ‘The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say, “Here it is,” or “There it is,” because the kingdom of God is in your midst.’ (Luke 17:20-21, NIV)
Where is the kingdom of God? Is it something we can see? Is is already here? What about the future - is it still to come? Why not come along on Sunday and find out more?
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 Thomas, Northaw, this Sunday.
The 10:30am 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.

Annual Lecture
Unfortunately, the planned speaker for this year’s Rachel Bradgate Lecture has had to cancel, due to ill health. We are looking for a replacement speaker, but that will delay the timing for this year.
Rotas
We very much value and appreciate all the different people that welcome and help with refreshments, and the different voices that we hear from the front. We always welcome new people to these roles, even if infrequently, and we have some spaces at the moment. If you don’t already help, and this would be something you would like to do, please talk to Chris.
We’re currently using self-signup for the various rotas: blank rotas will be pinned up at the back of St Andrew. If you are one of our regular welcomers, readers, pray-ers, communion assistants, or refreshment helpers, please do sign up where you are able to.
Rotas for services in February and March are now available. Readings are pinned on the board for you to take.
Stay & Play
Our church school, Northaw School, runs 'Stay and Play' every Thursday from 9-10:15am during term time. This is a free event, and open to children aged 0-5.
