JUST10 2010 PRESS RELEASE

J.John provides his just10 talks and ten years of research to equip churches to teach the Ten Commandments
3rd March 2010

The start of the year signified the launch of J.John’s just10 2010, the teaching series based on the Ten Commandments. The just10 2010 initiative is an invitation to churches all over the country to teach the Ten Commandments at the same time this autumn.

In an exclusive opportunity, J.John is releasing access to all his just10 scripts, material which he has shaped and sharpened over the last ten years, saving church leaders hours of research and inviting the congregation to experience the relevance of God’s laws of love.

The Ten Commandments were designed as a guide to help us all live our lives to the full, just10 presents the Commandments in a relevant way that clearly applies to our lives today. J.John has found just10 is attractive to both Christians and those seeking, with many realigning their lives to God's blueprint.

The initiative is progressing at an exciting pace and we are delighted to announce that you can now register online at www.just10.org. By registering to run the just10 series in your church, you will be provided with the ‘just10 Tool Kit’, which contains everything from a helpful ‘how-to’ guide to a training course in evangelism.

Along with J.John’s scripts, Philo Trust have produced a children’s version called just10 for Kids. just10 for Kids translates J.John’s just10 series into an understandable and enjoyable teaching programme for children between the ages of 5 and 11 years old. Like its adult counterpart, it works its way through God’s truths in reverse order.
Each week a commandment is unpacked and explored through story, short comedy films, creative illustrations, group time, games and quizzes. It has a very flexible format, allowing the leader to tailor it to their individual setting. As a result all sizes and forms of churches or children’s groups should find it an indispensable resource.
The material provided in the just10 Tool Kit has been carefully selected, enabling leaders to run just10 in many different ways. With J.John's scripts you can tailor and adapt his message to your congregation. With the just10 DVDs you are able to show J.John preaching the message or use elements, such as the voxpops, in your own sermon. The just10 Tool Kit allows you to shape the delivery of just10 to fit your own style.
Online support will be provided throughout the year at www.just10.org
If you sign up before the end of April, you will be eligible for the introductory price of £99 + p&p.  On 1 May the price will rise to £120 + p&p.

Please contact enquiries@just10.org for more information.

Ideas and Resources

This Autumn J.John is inviting churches up and down the country to join the national just10 2010 mission. Church leaders are now able to run their own just10 mission, in their own style, in their own church. To facilitate this, J.John is releasing his material and sermon notes to church leaders in a ‘Tool Kit’ of resources. For more information about the series, please go to www.just10.org.

 

If you would like to speak to someone about the mission please contact Sam Rennie on: 01923 287777, or by email: sam.rennie@philotrust.com.

For Web developers
Integrating the CTBI election hustings display

Churches Together in Britain and Ireland has made the General Election
hustings system (see http://www.ctbi.org.uk/428) available for integration into
third party websites.

An example is shown at www.goodwillguide.org.uk

Technical details

There are 2 public display scripts available:

http://www.ctbi.org.uk/share/election_display_national.php
This lets you integrate the search box and results

http://www.ctbi.org.uk/share/election_display_select.php
This lets you pre-define the search and show the results for up to 10
Constituencies.

There is a lookup (with instructions) for use when setting up the
election_display_select.php script:
http://www.ctbi.org.uk/share/election_display_maint.php

Using the National Display
This script is intended for the use of Christian organisations, and will display
all the Election Hustings information that is available. Its initial appearance
presents a search box, and lists results (with an intermediate short-form listing
if the search produces a long list).

The script is designed to be included in another website, and can be included
using straightforward iframe HTML syntax.
For example:
<iframe src="http://www.ctbi.org.uk/share/election_display_national.php"
frameborder="0" width="510" height="100%"></iframe>

Some basic CSS styles are fixed, but there is considerable scope to
customise the appearance of the display using additional CSS.

To customise the national display to blend in with your own website, contact
CTBI (election@ctbi.org.uk) and supply the URL of the stylesheet you intend
to use. CTBI will build this into the display and give you an index number to
use.

For example, you might ask CTBI to include the stylesheet
http://www.somesite.org.uk/css/mycss.css and we might respond in due
course by informing you that it's been set up as number 4.

You would then embed the frame with code like this, including the "4":-
<iframe src="http://www.ctbi.org.uk/share/election_display_national.php?4"
frameborder="0" width="510" height="100%"></iframe>

You are then free to adjust the appearance to suit your needs by editing your
own stylesheet.

The following notes are intended to help you do this. Background colours are
used as examples, assuming the styles will inherit suitable fonts and
foreground colours, but if this isn't the case, you can define those too.
1. The display inherits all 'body' styles set.

2. Headings are implemented using Heading tags:- H4 (search box), H5 (full
results display, constituency headings) and H6 (results display sub headings).
They have pre-defined margins, and H6/H6 sizes are set, but everything else
(e.g. colour, font) can be defined.

3. You can define the background colour for the search button by setting
.ctbi_elecbutton {background-color:#[whatever];}

4. You can define properties e.g the background colour for the search box as
a whole by setting .ctbi_elecsearchouter {background-color:#[whatever];}

5. You can define properties e.g the background colour for the intermediate
results list table cells by setting #ctbi_elec_list td {backgroundcolor:#[
whatever];}

6. You can define properties e.g the background colour for the intermediate
results list table headings by setting #ctbi_elec_list th{backgroundcolor:#[
whatever];}

7. The 'more' links in the intermediate list inherit their style: if this is
inappropriate to your needs, you can define 'a' tag styles within #ctbi_elec_list
td.ctbi_elecsepmore and #ctbi_elec_list td.ctbi_elecsepmore2

8. Full display items have set margins, padding and backgrounds. If you need
to adjust anything else you can use the classes div.ctbi_electev (for full
events) and div.ctbi_electint (for intentions to run events).

9. Various other hooks have been included: you can also adjust anything else
that you can find a hook for.

If you need any help, please email election@ctbi.org.uk in the first instance.
