What if the Ten Commandments weren’t just dusty rules from history, but a blueprint for living well today? We all face the same struggles: stress, anger, greed, dishonesty, broken relationships, burnout. The Ten Commandments may be ancient, but their wisdom is timeless. just10 is a ten-session series by J.John that brings fresh insight into how these principles can help us live with clarity, balance, and purpose.

The style of worship at the Vine is contemporary and informal. The range of music is wide and varied from lively and loud praise to quieter worship songs. Worship is led by members of the worship team and often comprises of drums, keyboard, guitar or Ukele. Everyone is encouraged to take part no matter how off key you might think your voice is.
At the Vine, we try to use language that is appropriate to the situation. So if someone is reading an account from the past it may have thee' and thou's in it but for the most, we use contemporary language and we read from a number of Bible translations including the Christian Standard Bilbe (CSB), the New International Version (NIV), the Message,
The New Living Translation (NLT), and even the KJV.

Have you ever noticed how busy life has become? We rush to work, rush home, rush to relax and somehow still end the day exhausted. Someone once said, “We lose our health to make money, and then we lose our money to restore our health.” Sadly, it’s funny because it’s true. We chase happiness in new phones, bigger houses, or longer holidays, yet somehow contentment keeps slipping through our fingers. It’s as if we’re living life on fast-forward, without ever pressing “play”. That’s the sort of question we’ve been exploring in just10 — a series at The Vine Centre about how the Ten Commandments offer timeless wisdom for living life to the full. Far from being a list of “don’ts,” they’re ten principles for living well in a complicated world.
Over the past few weeks, we’ve looked at ‘How to Find True Contentment’, and it struck a chord with many people. J.John’s reminder that materialism brings “worry, weariness, and gloom” hit home — as did his simple antidote: look beyond what’s temporary, learn to give generously, and remember your worth. One person summed it up perfectly afterwards: “It was refreshing to be reminded that we already have enough to be grateful for, we just forget to notice it.
”We’ve also talked about ‘How to Hold to the Truth’ — a session that encouraged honesty not as harshness but as kindness. It turns out truth really does hold our relationships together. When we lose truth, we lose trust, and without trust, life becomes pretty thin. The conversations around gossip, integrity, and the power of our words were both challenging and freeing in equal measure.
And last week’s ‘How to Prosper with a Clear Conscience’ helped us think differently about success. Rather than chasing wealth or shortcuts, we explored how integrity, hard work, and generosity bring a deeper kind of prosperity, the kind that lets you sleep soundly at night. As one participant put it, “I realised I want to be rich in peace, not just pounds.”
Each week has opened up new perspectives and there’s plenty more to come. Over the next few sessions, we’ll be exploring everything from managing anger and repairing relationships to preventing burnout and rediscovering what really matters. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, more café than classroom; with time to chat, reflect, and enjoy a cuppa along the way.
So, if you’ve ever wondered whether there’s more to life than rushing from one thing to the next, why not join us for just10. You don’t have to be religious, just curious. Each Sunday 11:00am through October and November. Refreshments throughout and separate kids themes, something for everyone.
Ten is a number I have always been fond of—perhaps because I was born on the tenth of October. In the Bible, ten often symbolises completeness, order, and responsibility. Today, it’s responsibility I want to reflect on.
This October, The Vine will celebrate holding the responsibility for running Cherry Willingham Library and Community Hub for ten years. Back in 2016, thirty libraries across Lincolnshire were handed over to local volunteers. It wasn’t a decision that everyone welcomed at the time, yet here in our village it has proved to be a blessing. Over the past decade, dedicated volunteers from across the community have delivered around 1,470 library sessions. The Vine Centre has always been more than a library, and the library more than just books. Thanks to the hard work of many, it has become a true community hub. From facilitating the return of Post Office services (even if only for one afternoon each week), to providing space for choirs, the “Third Tuesday Book Club,” the Parish Council’s Christmas tree lighting events & ‘Produce shows’ plus countless meetings—the building has become a home for village life – a hub for the community.
Assist, our local wellbeing organisation, has run over 485 group sessions here, supporting those living with dementia and offering one-to-one help to more than 1,000 people. The building itself has been transformed: recarpeted, remodelled, and redecorated. New computers, free Wi-Fi, and the ability to print from home or mobile devices have been added. And there’s more to come, with new disabled-friendly toilets currently in the pipeline (pun intended!). As a church, we too have made full use of the space, running more than 100 “TST” sessions for primary-age children, 138 “TTT” youth drop-ins, delivering school uniform to over 60 families and holding around 500 worship services. The Vine’s ethos is simple: serving, worshipping, and living at the heart of the community. The hub fits that vision beautifully, providing services from the very centre of village life.
So, ten really is our number this year. Alongside celebrating ten years of the library, The Vine is also hosting just10, a series exploring the Ten Commandments: What do these ancient words mean for us today? Think of it less like a sermon and more like a café-style discussion with refreshments before and after, time for conversation, space to reflect, and practical teaching that connects timeless wisdom with everyday life. Each week stands alone, so whether you come once or all ten times, you’ll be welcome. Each Sunday 11:00am It doesn’t matter if you’ve been a Christian for years, are just curious, or wouldn’t describe yourself as religious at all—this is for you. If you’ve never stepped inside the Vine Centre or used the library, this might be the perfect opportunity to discover what goes on here. We would love to welcome you.
