The Churches Together in Crook

J John and Just10

Well it's all over... or is it?
Over the last ten weeks, many people from the churches in and around Crook have been attending the Gateshead venue to hear J. John speak about the Ten Commandments.

On 1 July quite a number of folk from several demonations met up at St. Catherine's to chat about what impressions we'd taken away from the whole J. John experience. We discussed what we would like to do next in our various churches. We at St. Catherine's talked about getting together to learn more about the Bible and each other. So we're beginning such a series of meetings beginning September 10th click here for details.

At the bottom of the page is a letter sent to the Just10 Organisation on behalf of Crook Churches together.

J.John believes that 'the Ten Commandments - God's Top Ten - are not obsolete, they are absolute,' and of a recent series, J.John commented, 'I have been enormously humbled at the way our series have helped people to re-assess, re-focus their priorities and in many cases, restart their lives.'

Dear Sir,

Re: Donation towards costs of J. John Just 10 event.

Please find enclosed £300.00 from Churches Together Crook, to go towards the cost of hosting the Just 10 event in the NE.

We were able to provide a bus every Tuesday for the Gateshead venue. Our Weardale bus set off from Stanhope at 5.30pm every week, with pick-up points at Frosterley, Wolsingham, Crook and Willington. We almost filled a 53-seat coach each week, and transported over 100 different people to the event.    

For all passengers it was quite a distance to travel, particularly those who live in Stanhope who often did not return home until 11pm. We would like to congratulate everyone for the excellent organisation of the event. J. John’s presentations of the 10 commandments were certainly inspiring, stimulating and thought provoking. The journey and late nights were worth it!

We are meeting again this Tuesday in Crook, to continue the fellowship that has developed between the many churches involved over the last few weeks. We shall have an opportunity to share our views with each other and to look at mission in our community and our own churches.

Many blessings, for your vision to host such an event in the NE.
