Comic Strip Gospel

As part of our Circuit Youth Weekend (23-25 October 2009) we ran workshops to create Comic Strip Gospels.

The participant (including a group of the leaders) performed Exogesis on some well known stories from Mark's gospel in order to tell the story and its message within the 6 frames of a comic strip.

After storyboarding their ideas photographs were taken so that their characters could be real people who were later superimposed on drawn backgrounds. Ian and Pete were the brave computer whizz kids and were only up until 0200 to ensure that our comic strips were prepared in time for use in Sunday morning's worship.

The following stories are what came out.

• "Wacky Woolies " Present Mark 2:1-12 Jesus heals the paralytic
• "Tonio's Girls" Present Mark 5:21-24, 35-43, Healing of Jairus' daughter
• "THREE" Present Mark 4:35-41, Calming of the Storm
• "The Golden Oldies" Present Mark 11:15-19 Anger in the temple and Mark 12:38-44 Wiodw's Mite

All of these stories can be downloaded as individual PDF files or for larger presentations there is a ZIP File containing single images for projection in our DOWNLOADS section
