*Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?’ (John 11:25-26, NIV)
As we get closer to Holy Week and Easter Day, our readings start to show us more about who Jesus is and why Easter is so important and so wonderful. As we look at Lazarus, we'll see the promise of eternal life shown clearly. We'll also see how Jesus is the only one who can make that possible for us. Why not come along on Sunday, and see more?
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.

Bishop of St Albans
On Thursday morning, the Right Reverend Andrew Rumsey, currently Bishop of Ramsbury, was announced as the next Bishop of St Albans. Please pray for him, and his family, as he prepares for this move.
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 March and April are now available. Readings are pinned on the board for you to take.
