When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing near by, he said to her, ‘Woman, here is your son,’ and to the disciple, ‘Here is your mother.’ From that time on, this disciple took her into his home. (John 19:26-27, NIV)
This Sunday is Mothering Sunday, originally a day for people to return to their mother church. This might be their home church, cathedral, or the nearest large church. A day to recall their introduction to the Christian faith. More recently, this has become synonymous with Mother’s Day: a day to recall and celebrate the impact mothers have on our lives, and to celebrate family life.
In our readings, we’ll read about family, and how Jesus provides a new family for us to be part of.
We’re also being joined by Northaw School’s Choir.
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.
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. (Romans 11:1-2, NIV)
Our big theme for this Lent is "From Death to Life". As we continue this Sunday, we another part of the promise that Easter brings us: peace with God. This is amazing news. In a world of conflict, we can be at peace with the one who made everything. Why not join us this Sunday, as we find out more?

Jesus answered, ‘Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. (John 3:5, NIV)
Our big theme for this Lent is "From Death to Life". As we continue this Sunday, we start to see the promise of life that Jesus brings. He promises that we can enter the kingdom of God, but only by being reborn. We can have life, rather than death, only by God's grace to us. Why not join us this Sunday, as we find out more about his promise of life?

Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. After fasting for forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. (Matthew 4:1-2, NIV)
This Sunday is the first in Lent, and we begin a series that will take us from death to life through Jesus. As the forty days of Lent begin, we start with Jesus fasting for forty days in the wilderness. There, we’ll see how he succeeds in following God where Adam failed, where the nation of Israel failed — and where we fail too. That’s great news for us, because Jesus is the faithful Son who stood firm for us.

Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. (Luke 18:1, NIV)
What does the ordinary Christian life look like? As we live waiting for Jesus' return, what are our priorities? As we look as this next part of Luke's gospel, Jesus tell us that one of the things Christians should to is to pray. Why not join us this Sunday, as we find out more?
