VBS 2016 . . . My Reviews Begin in Just a Few Weeks!

A dear lady I know once told me, "In children's ministry there are two seasons in the year . . . Christmas and VBS, because when you finish one of them, you begin to plan and prepare for the other!" 

Well, believe it or not, it is almost time for my annual, "January of VBS" with my Top Ten VBS Countdown for 2016, VBS reviews, give-aways and this year's side-by-side comparison chart!

All of these things begin on January 4, so if you are wondering what some of the VBS resources are for 2016, take a look at what 2016 holds as far as VBS options . . . 

• Barnyard Round-up from Concordia
• Submerged from Lifeway
• Cave Quest from Group Publishing
• Egypt Holy Land Adventure from Group Publishing 
• Expedition Norway Cross Culture VBS from Group Publishing
• Pets Unleashed from Group Publishing
• Surf Shack from Cokesbury
• Ocean Commotion from Answers in Genesis
• Deep Sea Discovery from Standard Publishing
• Cowabunga Farm from Regular Baptist Press

I may end up with a couple additional kits for review and am sad to say, one which has been a constant resource for decades, Gospel Light, will no longer be available as they are no longer publishing VBS.

I have received my first 2016 VBS kits for review and can't wait to sit down next week and dig into them!

So, stay tuned and please plan to check back throughout January as I release my 2016 VBS reviews and more!
