Group Publishing has just revealed their Vacation Bible School themes for 2010. They have two curriculum options, the Holy Land Adventure for next summer is titled “Egypt: Joseph’s Journey from Prison to Palace“. This looks like a very exciting theme and is sure to bring the Bible to life for thousands of children.
The official website for Group’s Egypt VBS is now online. From what I’ve seen so far, this looks like a solid theme and a great way to teach about the story of Joseph. Like other Holy Land Adventures, you will also teach a good deal of Bible background and customs of ancient locations.
My Review of Group’s Egypt VBS
Check back later this summer and I’ll offer a more detailed review of this VBS theme. Right now they have the basics on their website, but I’m looking forward to learning more.

Our church is doing the 2009 version, Rome: Paul and the Underground Church. This may be the first time a VBS has been done at this church that wasn’t Lifeway. It is very different in set-up but I think the teachers are excited about the change. I have been very impressed by all aspects of this VBS – especially the field test reviews. It’s nice to know that the program has actually been tested.
Our church, Concordia Lutheran in Louisville, Kentucky, will be hosting a Group Publishing VBS University Party on Saturday, April 24, 2010 for the Egypt theme.
From Group: “We’ve created a brand new VBS training event – and we hope you’ll be a part of the fun. Based on tons of feedback and hands-n training, we revamped our VBS parties and designed a new program called VBS-U. And you’ll love it! This hands-on training shows directors and volunteers how to dig into VBS Pro (upgraded VBS Web Toy Box), use VBS Spotlight, set up Giving Spree (the online VBS registry), train volunteers and raise funds, plan, coordinate & execute thier best VBS yet! Plus structured networking sessions help leaders coordinate and sharing larger, higher cost items. Bonus: Participants will make some of the awesome decorations shown on the Decorating Places video!”
In the coming months, you will be able to find a VBS U in your area by searching on the Group website or checking the list of hosting churches in the VBS catalog that will be available in Nov/Dec. You will also be able to register on-line to reserve your spot. If you’re in the Louisville area, we hope you’ll join us for this fun and exciting event!
