Revd Jeff Staples
A few years ago (well probably lots of years ago actually, but who is counting!) my wife Norma joined others from our home church in signing up to attend a 10 week series about the Ten Commandments led by J John. The coach the church booked was full every week to make the journey from Birkenhead to Chester Cathedral. In fact, so popular did the event prove to be that their coach was having to leave earlier and earlier each week to get them to the Cathedral so they could get ‘good seats!’ Chester Cathedral isn’t small, but it was packed every week with people from across the Diocese gathering to be inspired by the teaching of J John.
So when I mentioned to Norma, and some others who had been around at that time, that we were going to run a JUST10 series here at St Nicholas they all remembered and commented on how wonderful their experience of the course was. For that sense of wonder to last through these long years is surly testimony to the course material and teaching.
Sadly, we don’t have J John in person to lead the 10 sessions, but we do have the CD presentations which many churches up and down the country have acquired for themselves. And we are looking forward to welcoming anybody who wishes to come to the 10 week course. J John says “I have been enormously humbled at the way the series has helped people to re-assess, re-focus their priorities and in many cases, restart their lives.”
Our JUST10 series will be held on Sunday evenings from 6.00pm to 7.00pm beginning on Sunday 19th September and running to Sunday 21st November. If you want to come along you can just drop in, or if you want some details or would like to let me know you are coming along, you can contact me on 0151 639 3589 or by email on revjeffatstnicholas@hotmail.co.uk
Sincerely yours, Jeff
