VBS Meets VDT
Group Publishing, Walden Media, and 20th Century Fox have teamed up and put together a Vacation Bible School package called ‘Fun for the Whole Family’ Hour.
Fun-for-the-Whole-Family Hour combines the excitement of VBS with the thrilling adventure of Narnia in an experience that gets all ages connecting with each other and with God.
It’s one action-packed hour where the families in your church can talk, laugh, share, discuss Scripture, and worship together–and watch never-before-seen clips from the latest Narnia adventure. This film explores family-friendly themes like grace and transformation, giving families the chance to look at God’s transforming love in a new way.
Featuring FREE exclusive clips from the upcoming Narnia movie The Voyage of the Dawn Treader!
The leader pack will be available to ship June 1, 2010. Do you know what this means NarniaWebbers? VDT clip are less than two months away! UPDATE: The VBS package will be available June 30th instead of June 1st as was previously reported.
More information and preordering is available on Group’s website here.
Thanks to QueenSusanJ316 for the initial report, and Liberty Hoffman for the link!
UPDATE: One of the pages on the website includes a new image from the movie:
Nice catch, AslansCountry.com!
Sweet!!!!!!
I want to see that! it would be so cool!
This is greatly exciting.
I am excited too! I really hope the clips come soon to Narniaweb! Dude, this is so hard to be patient for!!! Oh well, let's just hope it comes quickly and that it's a good movie 🙂 ! And I really hope this movie focuses a bit on Lucy and Edmund, anyone agree? I mean, it's their last time in Narnia and I wish it will show their sibling affection for each other.
YES! There Should Some Brother Sister moments! that would be so cute!!!
indeed! 🙂
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I DON'T GIVE A CRAP ABOUT THAT THING (it sounds sweet and all, but just sayin') BUT SOMEONE BEST PUT THOSE CLIPS ON YOUTUBE RIGHT AWAY HOLY CRAP.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
…I'm usually not like this. I'm very excited is all.
I guess if they are advertising 'never before seen slips' when the order ships out in June 1st, then that means that a trailer will be out no earlier than June or maybe July (just as I expected).
Not necessarily. The trailer could show completely different clips than this VBS thing.
But then again, what if you're right?
🙁 Don't go dashing my hopes!
😉
No. . . .Well. . .I guess that makes since.
But I think you are right Eliseo, because I did do the math, and the trailer should come out in July or June.
Sweet! 🙂
Yaaaay!
Group is a great, er, group, too.
OHHHH GOODNESS THIS IS GREAT!!!!!!!
P.S. What's VBS??
Vacation Bible Study
Vacation Bible SCHOOL!!! Not study. Sorry.
FK, when I read your first comment, I was like, "What?" 🙂 Anyway, this sounds great, but I am the ultimate enemy of spoilers so I probably won't get it. I like waiting! It builds suspense! And I have so many horses to hold right now! 🙂
Oh thanks Fantasia_Kitty!
ya same here. WAIT.. your holding horses?! u must be a POWERFUL queen! 😀
lol at omac the centaur!
dang, I was hoping for a trailer in may…now it looks like we may have to wait till June? Bummer.
I know! Me too! 🙁
bummer, i was really hoping may. 🙁
(BUT, Who Knows!)
i betcha they'll end up on youtube somehow sometime after it comes out. just saying, cuz it happens all the time 🙂
Yeah, I hope so.
It probably will be! 🙂
Okay, I seriously wish I could run a VBS just for this!!!! This would be /so/ sweet (especially the clips!!!!!)! However, I hope that there are some true Christians behind this or else it wouldn't be quite so great for VBS'….
I totally agree! Hope this isn't just a publicity stunt but also a good use of C.S.Lewis's Christian hints in the books, to bring glory to Jesus.
VBS in so fun, lol! Hope many churches choose this program this year!
I think this will be a good Christian thing. There was a clip with the President of Walden or
Fox media talking about this program. He mentioned how much fun his kids had at vbs and all. I do not think we will have to worry Group is a great set of people and my mom has even worked with some of them vie telephone.
I think that this is a great way for Christians to share thier faith with others. And especailly with VDT!! I know alot of families who are looking forward to this-mine included!
The only cool thing we did at VBS when i was little was eat stale cookies and drink watered down cool aide.
Poor you. My VBS memories are better, thank goodness.
Haha, yeah mine are too. I help out at one every year. It's so much fun!
Sorry you have bad memories about VBS; I really enjoyed the programs and activities!
My memories of Vacation Bible School are really good; I loved it. Please don't be so sarcastic. It makes things really unpleasant, so keep your so-called 'memories' to yourself. No one wants to hear them.
I'm interested in a range of views and experiences, whether positive or negative.
Are we Christians or propagandists?
MB: This is just a comments section for Narnia news.
You might be right, but there is a difference between backing people up and telling people who might have opposite opinions here how they should act.
Please don't be so rude. It makes things really unpleasant.
Beruna, I haven't been rude. I've only told Laura Elizabeth what you've just told me, let people have their own opinions. It doesn't matter whether they agree with yours or not.
He-he-he-he-HEEEEEEE!!!!! I'm so accited! Can't wait till June 1st!!!!!!!! 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
sorry. EXCITED.
See!? See how excited I am!? I can't even spell things right! (No. Just kidding. lol.) 🙂
haha yup! very excited indeed! 😀
That's pretty sweet. 🙂
WOW! This is awesome; I hope we get a trailer soon!
It looks like a neat package too.
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This looks like a fun thing to do with my cousin that I baby sit. Will surely get it once it's out.
Hope there are some NarniaWebbers who can get to a VBS event!
I believe it's actually a package you can buy that includes the clips, gP.
Lol, if my church wants to get it, maybe I'll send a spy report, even though I'm avoiding spoilers. 🙂 I'll ask.
WOW !!!!!!!!!!!
AWESOME!,
MAN I WANT TO SEE THE TRAILER SOO BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT HAS TO COME OUT SOON!!!!!! AAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, as far as I know, this looks like Vacation Bible School MATERIAL, and not an event or anything. I am familiar with packages/ciriculum like this, and the time of year also seems to be right(for summer).
I wonder if the clips are just a few random shots/scenes, an entire trailer, the official movie trailer, (to be released in theaters) a small teaser trailer, behind the scenes, or what???
CAN'T WAIT!!! 😀
I would say a behind the scenes thing with little random shots in it. Can't wait till June!!!
Although GlumPuddle might be right in saying "event" because VBS is an event for kids. But the organizers/teachers at a VBS event have to have bought this material in order to see it at a VBS week.
This is more of a followup or family fun night than a VBS from the material I have looked at.
@ queensusan316…
Hey, just wondering what the "316" on your name stands for….
I clicked the Vbs link. It seems like the VDT footage is definitely a big part of the program. I'm expecting about 5-20 minutes of footage.
Yay! 🙂
BTW, any guesses to what scenes it will show? It seems like they're really focusing on the "grace" theme… so I think Eustace-as-Dragon will be definitely part of it. I'm betting on it.
That was my thought too….
Now just a question. How many fans out there are going to volenteer to help at their Church's VBS if they use this program?
How many would if they didn't?
Either way I'm gonna try, but it depends on when they have it and when I leave for college… I'm cutting it close.
I'll do it for option 1 or option 2! Although I think we already have a VBS… and I love avoiding spoilers! They are my ultimate enemy!
I love VBS and will help whether we use this or not. This just like an added bonus!
I love to help with VBS, so I'll do it either way!
Good to see that there are willing hands.
So many young need the devotion of others outside the home to teach continue to them.
May you find blessing in your labores.
Definitely! I'd love to help out this year, but I don't know if my work schedule will be flexible enough for me to work around it…
Other ways to help include making things for sets, or different lessons. You might consider fundraising, the lesson/curriculum is not always cheap, and some churches have limited funds.
I might buy this just for the clips :p
Oh…wow. If we weren't in such a news drought, this wouldn't be quite so exciting, but it is right now. So…do you have to go to VBS to see the clips, or can you just buy it? *confused*
Either way, this is good. Hope this can be used to start word of mouth in the church. I know that church publicity went a long way in the differences between LWW and PC success.
Narnia? VBS? Narnian VBS?? Cool!!! I hope our church uses this next year. 🙂
haha…ya, out old church did a "Narnian VBS" a couple years ago….it was awesome! They made the doors that enter the sanctuary into the doors of the wardrobe…it was pretty sweet! 😀
omgsh! cool!!!
Alriht, I am definately suggesting that to out pastor 😀
I'm definitley (did I spell that right? I can never seem to spell that word exactly right often. Oh, sorry… here I am… wandering off topic in the middle of a sentence… AGAIN…) doing that, too!
@ beruna: 'definitely' 🙂 (p.s. I like ur name)
yay 😀
neat
Interesting! Do you know what this means? It means that Fox's advertising campaign is getting back to the kind of advertising that was done for LWW: they are advertising to churches and from there the news will surely spread from mouth to mouth – a very effective mode of advertising. To me, that is perhaps more sweet than the fact that footage will be available by June!
Woah, that completely slipped my mind!
Wow!!! Good point!!!
My thoughts exactly! We oughtn't to underestimate the power of church publicity.
I must say, the only reason I saw LWW in theaters, (we generally wait until the video comes out since that's cheaper)was that Focus on the Family, a lot of churches, and some friends said it was good. Commercials rarely convince me to see a movie.
This is exciting, hopefully it will mean they're keeping Aslan's lines in!
Keep praying everybody!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Sounds cool! Dude, I can't wait for footage. I'm STARVING for VDT 😛
So say we all!
Did i say "all"? any way, same here!
My church is doing a vbs. I hope they decide to use this. cause then when I help withit I can see clips!!! Hehe
This is totally awesome!
Great Idea!!
YEEEEESSSSSS!!!! I HAVE BEEN DYING TO SEE CLIPS FOR SOOOO LONG!!! THANK YOU VBS!!! SO HAPPY!!! LONG LIVE ASLAN AND SAIL ON VDT!!!!
AWESOME!!!!!! MUST GET!!!!!
i have a question:
it thw whole VBS a video, or is it activities, with clips from VDT seperate?
VotDT trailer here we come!
My church uses Group, maybe they will actually have VBS this year.
AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! *fangirl scream continues until VDT comes out*
I'm definatly going to ask my mom to ask someone at my church if they can do this!!!!
I'M DYING FOR VDT CLIPS!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my gosh! I am sooo excited! I can not wait! Clips! hurray! I can't think of December/Winter right now but I can think of VDT coming out! SOOOO Excited!
