Jesus said to him, 'Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.' (Luke 19:1-10, NIV)
This Sunday, we meet Zacchaeus, a tax collector. The last time Luke wrote about a tax collector, it was a parable Jesus told. In it, he was pleading to God for mercy. Now we see what happens when a tax collector meets Jesus. It's not a parable, it's a real-life encounter, what will happen to Zacchaeus? Why not join us this Sunday and see more about what it would mean to meet Jesus for yourself?
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.
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.

Church Concert
Save the date: in a similar way to last year, we are holding a church concert on Saturday 26 September at 6pm, in St Andrew.
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 July and August are now available. Readings are pinned on the board for you to take.
