Elevate News! May 13, 2008

Looking for summer programs and curriculum? Consider using an Elevate series for VBS at your church! Some ministry leaders have let us know that they've adapted the eight-week format to fit their week-long Vacation Bible School. They use lesson one on the Sunday before the program starts, a new lesson each day of the week and then close on the next Sunday with the last lesson of the series. Add a few creative crafts and snacks and you're ready for the fun to begin!

We've recently launched a new Elevatekids.com website with interactive information on current and upcoming curriculum. Check out media previews, get the latest news from the development team and find answers to common questions.

Also, we are excited to announce the soon-to-be-released Elevate Junior curriculum. Elevate Jr. is a brand new preschool curriculum from Fellowship Church designed for children ages 3 – 5 years old. Elevate Jr. shares many of the characteristics of Elevate, including video training for all classroom activities. You will have the option of teaching the curriculum in an interactive classroom format or in a large group/small group format. The elements of each lesson are:

Opening Activity
Introduction Video
Main Point Activity
Skit and Bible Story Video
Bible Story Activity
Application Video
Craft Activity
Closing Activity

Elevate Jr. will release with Spy Chase, the next series from Elevate; and we will produce it with every Elevate series from this point forward. As with Elevate, you will be able to use the curriculum with a TV, DVD Player and remote control. Pricing for Elevate Jr. will be the same as Elevate, at $159 for an eight-week series (about $20 a weekend).
