Remember that the clocks go back at 2am on Sunday morning
For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found. (Luke 15:24, NIV)
It might well be the most famous of Jesus' parables: a son takes his inheritance, leaves home, and squanders it all. What does he do then? Will his father accept him? Does his father still love him? Why not join us this Sunday as we see how amazing God's love for us is.
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 Sunday morning 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 YouTube channel and Facebook page.
We are having some problems with streaming, particularly with YouTube: if you do encounter problems with viewing the service via Facebook (or YouTube) please follow the link for YouTube (or Facebook) instead.
Children’s Church
Our children’s church meets this Sunday morning in the Undercroft. Children are welcome from 10:20, and will join us in St Thomas towards the end of the service.
Recollections and hopes for St Andrew
As part of our 60th serivice, I would love to be able to share some recollections and hopes for St Andrew. If you might be able to share something, please be in touch with Chris, the vicar.

Our Remembrance Sunday service is at 10:50am at St Thomas on 9th November. We’ll start outside at the memorial for an Act of Remembrance, before concluding the service inside the church building.
Vacancies
Following our annual meetings we have a vacancy for two churchwardens and one representatives on the Deanery Synod (and a treasurer). If you’d like to know more about them (without any commitment), please talk to Chris.
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 Thomas. 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 November and December are now available.
Sponsor a chair?
Would you be able to sponsor a new chair for St Andrew’s? Each chair will cost us around £80, and we would be very grateful for any donations towards the new chairs. You can give in the usual ways, please mark your donation as ‘Chairs’.
60 Years of St Andrew’s
