Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. (Isaiah 40:28-31, NIV)
What is God like? This Sunday, we will be looking together at what God is like? How do we know it, and what does it mean for us? I hope that you'll be able to join us as we look together at what God is like.
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.
We are pleased to welcome Olly Wong and his parents and godparents for his baptism in St Andrew this Sunday morning.
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.
Children’s Church
Our children’s church meets this Sunday morning in the Undercroft. Children are welcome from 10:20, and will join us upstairs towards the end of the service.
Children who would like to stay upstairs for the baptism are very welcome to do so, and to join Children’s Church later in the service, if they would like.
Annual Meetings
At our annual meetings, we elected Ed Watt as churchwarden, Kathleen Bagguley and Anna Kilgour as Deanery Synod representatives, and David Hall, Angela Semakula and Chris Shingles as PCC members. The vicar's report is also available online.
We were unable to discuss the annual accounts, and a separate meeting will take place to do that.
We still have vacancies for one churchwarden and we would value a treasurer to assist with our finances
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 June 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.
Bible Reading Resources
There are a lot of resources available online to help with Bible reading. A few of them are here, in case they are helpful for you.
Home Communion
If you’re not able to join us on Sundays, and would appreciate a visit with Holy Communion, please be in touch with Chris.
Coffee Shop
Our weekly Coffee Shop will be taking place this Wednesday from 10:30 in St Andrew, you are very welcome to join us.
