| | I definitely agree with having two different Starter Kit options. That would make it alot easier on smaller churches. Didn't the Clipart CD come out in February with all the other items? My church hasn't bought it because it hasn't been in the Starter Kit. We've only had a Clipart CD for Fiesta! back in 2006. God Bless, Josh T. in Ohio

| I would kinda like a create your own kit...we don't do the preschool program and we don't do chadder...and we do our own missions...althought I do like the missions projects that Group has...all in all I LOVE GROUP!!! We are going to do our FIRST FALL FESTIVAL!!!! YIKES!!! Anyway....I would like the CD in the kit...the difference in ordering it alone or in the kit...DOUBLE SHIPPING...you pay for shipping on the kit and then if you only order the CD...then you pay for the shipping...just an observation.

| | I also agree with the Preschool part of the Starter Kit. I personally don't use it right now. I'll probably use it though when I can get more kids to my VBS. It's just an extra expense that isn't needed. Does anyone not by a Starter Kit and only buy the essentials that they need? I love Group's VBS curriculum but I don't think I'm going to have enough money in my budget this year to do everything that Group has planned. The only bad thing about buying everything separately is that you would have to wait until February to order your VBS materials. If you order the Starter Kit, you get that in December. I don't think I could wait until February. God Bless, Josh T. in Ohio

| | I would like to see the clipart disc included. We are a smaller church and don't have enough staff or room to handle preschoolers during VBS. Unfortunately, the preschool materials included in the kit often just go to waste. It would be nice if they were available for purchase separately. |

| | I do not usually buy the clipart CD, so I don't want it in the kit (since it will probably add to the cost). I am considering purchasing my items separately because I do not use so much of what is in the Starter Kit (we do a limited 2-hour VBS at night). This is especially so for Crocodile Dock (since they are charging more because they are increasing the cost due to adding OK2K items and we do not do the OK2K for our mission project).

| | Hi all. I agree with the people that have suggested having all the preschool books and items sold as a separate Preschool kit. My church does not have a preschool due to lack of space. So I'm paying for lots of items that I don't use. I like the clipart CD and would buy it either way. Thanks! Judi |

| | I would like to see the Clipt-art CD in the kit but am also afraid the price would go up. We struggled this year with 129.99 and I see next year is going to be 139.99. That's hard for small churches. We have limited funds for outreach and so far I have a had a good response for "Sponsor a Kid" fundraising, but if the orice of the starter kit keeps going up other areas will have to be trimmed to keep the cost per child down. |
