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!

    Oh thanks Fantasia_Kitty!

  3. NarnianElf says:

    Haha, yeah mine are too. I help out at one every year. It's so much fun!

  4. NarnianElf says:

    Alriht, I am definately suggesting that to out pastor 😀

  5. NarnianElf says:

    Wow!!! Good point!!!

  6. NarnianElf says:

    So say we all!

  7. ChristProclamer says:

    My thoughts exactly! We oughtn't to underestimate the power of church publicity.

  8. ~Lava~ says:

    My church uses Group, maybe they will actually have VBS this year.

  9. Follower of Aslan says:

    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.

  10. NarniaHannah♥(used to be celtic13 and LucyReepicheep4♥) says:

    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!!!!!!!!!!

  11. narniafan#1 says:

    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!

  12. QueenSusanJ316 says:

    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.

  13. QueenSusanJ316 says:

    This is more of a followup or family fun night than a VBS from the material I have looked at.

  14. QueenSusanJ316 says:

    I love VBS and will help whether we use this or not. This just like an added bonus!

  15. KingSkandartheJust says:

    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!

    Aslan's Country: Poggin found a new VDT pic on the Group Publishing website. Don't ask me how. I can't find it. But here's the link to see the pic: http://www.aslanscountry.com/2010/04/coming-soon-exclusive-dawn-treader-clips/

  17. Lucille Brown says:

    I definitely just want to get this for my family. We could do it as a family thing.

  18. Victoria says:

    Please post clips if they are available.
    🙂
    Absolutely can't wait.

  19. Claire-ayes says:

    Oooohh! and a picture. This is exciting – at least we know we'll have a trailer at least a bit before this. 😀 Clippidy Clippidy Clips! x

  20. Aravis & Hwin says:

    I love to help with VBS, so I'll do it either way!

  21. Hermitess of Narnia says:

    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!

  22. Laura Elizabeth says:

    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.

  23. LL says:

    Ben & Skandar pic?! Yay!!!

  24. wolfloversk says:

    Ahh! New Picture! Screams with glee!

  25. De_De says:

    Wow, this is sooooo exciting!!!!!!!!! I can't wait!!!

  26. MB says:

    I'm interested in a range of views and experiences, whether positive or negative.

    Are we Christians or propagandists?

  27. NarniaNut says:

    I told u guys about this like 2months ago!!!!

  28. Edson07bs says:

    Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow… impresionante imagen… me encanta

  29. Beruna says:

    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.

  30. Beruna says:

    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!

  31. QueenLucy12 says:

    Ooooooooooooooooooooo Skandar is HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  32. Puddleglum says:

    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.

  33. redeemedqueen says:

    AHAHAHAHHAHAHHA!!!! YEAY!!!! ECSTATIC!!!

  34. Victoria says:

    Can't wait, please upload if and when available. Really, really excited.
    🙂

  35. Victoria says:

    *clips, I mean

  36. The Great and Fearless Pug says:

    Who do you think the old guy in the picture is?

  37. Bookwyrm says:

    Please don't be so rude. It makes things really unpleasant.

  38. Narniangirl says:

    PICTURE OF SKANDAR YAAAAAY!!!! 8D If we can't have clip – More pictures please and bigger ones!!!

  39. Anna's Sister says:

    That's the Captain I just can't remember his name.

  40. Omac the centaur says:

    ya same here. WAIT.. your holding horses?! u must be a POWERFUL queen! 😀

  41. MB says:

    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.

  42. SavedByGrace says:

    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!

  43. SavedByGrace says:

    Sorry you have bad memories about VBS; I really enjoyed the programs and activities!

  44. SavedByGrace says:

    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…

  45. RuralNarniaFan says:

    Drinian

  46. Puddleglum says:

    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.

  47. Narniamiss says:

    I think I'll be buying that without a doubt….

  48. Narniamiss says:

    "media pack (DVD and clip art CD)" I'm definetly hoping they are talking about VDT clip art. That would be so awesome!

  49. QueenLucy12 says:

    Idk if we (my mom and dad) are going to get the thing!
    cuz I would only want the clips!

  50. QueenLucy12 says:

    lol at omac the centaur!

  51. Omac the centaur says:

    haha yup! very excited indeed! 😀

  52. Mark Sommer says:

    Please note: I was informed late last night from an inside source that the materials will not be available until later. The Group Publishing website is now showing these available for shipment June 30, 2010.

  53. Anonymous Narnian says:

    Very cool! I can't wait to see the new clips!

  54. NarnianElf says:

    WHAT!!!!!

  55. NarnianElf says:

    OHHHHHH I bet that pic is when the see the Sea Serpent!!

  56. Narniafan says:

    Fascinating. It seems to me that the people at Fox are learning why LWW succeeded, and PC didn't: Disney first advertised through word-of-mouth, to the people who love Narnia best–Christians, not the teenager popcorn crowd, not the action-adventure crowd.

    Keep up the good work, Fox!

  57. Omac the centaur says:

    indeed! 🙂

  58. Alambil and Tarvis says:

    AWESOMENESS!! I love how well they're doing at getting the film publicized–it's a hard task to do without the brilliant marketing strategies of Disney, but Fox & Walden are pulling it off wonderfully. 🙂 Let's hope this draws in more viewers!

  59. QStheG says:

    And where is a new photo in big size?((((

  60. You know what, it may be really good or really bad, I will just have to wait and see I guess.
