Good News Street
A Digital Sunday School Journey Through Mark’s Gospel
Good News Street is 14 Sunday School lesson videos which will be uploaded weekly ready for use between Sunday 10th January and Easter Sunday 2021. These will include a Bible story from Mark’s gospel, some questions to think about, an activity, prayers and a worksheet and song suggestions for afterwards. Enjoy!
This first video is a quick overview of the Gospel of Mark. After watching it you could talk about your favourite stories about Jesus, what you expect Jesus to be like, what would you write in a book about someone’s life, and even how you would prove that someone was God. It would also be a great chance to draw a map of your own street!
