But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. (Acts 7:55, NIV)
As we continue in the Easter season, the focus remains on the risen Lord Jesus. He is alive, and that changes everything. In the passage for Sunday, Stephen, one of the first disciples, is about to be stoned for talking about Jesus. As he faces death, he sees the risen Jesus and, as he dies, entrusts his life to him. For Stephen, the risen Jesus makes a difference not just for now but also for eternity. Why not join us this 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.

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 May are now available. Readings are pinned on the board for you to take.
