| Well, I have to get on my "high horse" again. I hate the fact that sooo many churches decide on what VBS to use based on the theme. Themes are great but they are only a means to an end. We use Group because it is the best at engaging the kids in the Bible stories and supporting those stories through the other stations. Themes are important in building excitement - I know that - but no matter what the theme, if we are excited, the kids will be too. My challenge to everyone is this: If you can find a better VBS -use it - but DO NOT pick it because of the theme. The theme is not what's important.
As a side note, I was reading a post from a lady who did not like the stories for 2009 because they were from the Old Testament. Kids (and adults) can learn about what a gracious, loving, Heavenly Father we have by studying the stories of the Old Testament - these are the stories Jesus himself studied. God gave us the Old Testament for a reason and we need to teach it as much as the New Testament.

| | As a general rule, Group alternates years with the Old and New Testament stories. How many remember the whale we built for the story of Jonah or the wall to come down with the story of Joshua? |

| neversosimple (7/2/2008)
Can anyone tell me what the fonts are of "Crocodile", "Dock", and "Where Fearless Kids Shine God's Light"?
I'm not a font expert, but I think "DOCK" is in the Driftwood font - I recognize it from fonts I used for AR last year. 
I'm working on the others... the "Where fearless..." looks a lot like Kidprint but it's not exact.

| | Does anyone know why the OK2K posters are now included? My church doesn't use them. I think that it would be more practical to include the bible buddies posters. Does anyone else think that?
