Strengths -
Unique setting!
Designed to involve the entire family!
Daily application activities!
Excellent resource to use in your ministry at Christmas!
Challenges -
Only provides ideas to simplify for preschoolers - no preschool material
Need goal information
Where's the mission project?
No active lessons! - I understand this is built around the drama, but come on, Group! Get creative! Involve the kids!
Favorites -
Strong salvation message!
Love the music, except for , "Mary, did you know?" - you ruined this song . . . it needs to be slower like Mark sings it or it loses the power of the lyrics
Unique setting!
Once again, Group's second vbs resource provides a unique option for churches to consider. Well written, designed and developed - except for preschool materials, this curriculum would be great to use during the month of December in your mid-week club! All student materials will be available from your bookstore through the end of December 2006! Extremely well done, Group Publishing!
