When [Jesus] came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen: ‘Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!’ (Luke 19:37-38, NIV)
This passage is normally read on Palm Sunday, as we read about Jesus entering Jerusalem before his death and resurrection. As we come to the end of the current series in Luke, we see the king entering Jerusalem. We have seen who can be in his kingdom, what the king is like, and now we see the king moving towards his throne. Why not join us this Sunday as we see some more of Jesus the king?
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.

Do you work from home during the week, or know someone that does? We are having our first ‘Work from church Friday’ from 9am to 3pm today (24th July). Coffee, wi-fi and company available.
“Girls and Boys Come Out to Play” bike ride for Dementia UK
Christine Muskett would like to thank everyone very much for their support of her recent bike ride, which was 612 miles altogether, from Paul near Penzance to Beverley in Yorkshire. The current total is around £5,100 raised. It is not too late to make a donation, either online or in person via Christine (020 8367 3781) or Brian. Thank you!
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 August and September are now available. Readings are pinned on the board for you to take.
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.
