Church Action on Poverty

Multimedia

We've prepared a range of video and presentation materials for you to use in your Just Church sessions. Some modules recommend using particular materials, but feel free to use whatever is most suited to your group.

All the suggested materials are listed below. The PowerPoint files can be downloaded from the website, but to get the video clips, you will need to order the Just Church DVD. (We have decided not to make the clips available online because of the very large size of the files.) The DVD includes all the video and presentation materials, as well as all the modules in PDF format.

Presentations
These are in PowerPoint format, suitable for use with a computer and data projector. Two are intended for use in worship; one is a general overview of poverty issues in the UK. Note that they are large files and may take a while to download.

Poverty facts

Slideshow of UK poverty facts and figures (6.1MB document) (originally used at a National Poverty Hearing; might be useful in "Just Getting Started")

Slideshow of images and Bible verses (3.2MB document) (for closing worship of "Just Bible")
