John, Paul, George and Ringo. Their names belong together, and as an honorary Scouser – having lived off Penny Lane as a student and now living round the corner from Strawberry Fields - those 4 men made their mark on our city, our nation and our history as their combined talents made them glob…
This Sunday, take the opportunity to run your own home church using the Faith in Kids Wonder of Easter resources.
Five lessons from Luke to take you from the triumphal entry to the ascension, work sheets, discussion questions, games and crafts! These were written for Sunday Schools, but we think fam…
