Scripture Press Wheaton, Illinois
Gospel Light Press Glendale, California
One cannot help but be tremen dously impressed by the outstanding kits which have been prepared by this leading West Coast publisher, yet the word “kit” hardly describes the beautiful presentation sets of outstanding “ all new” m a te r ia ls based on the theme, “ Discovering Christ.” The entire subject matter, as well as coordinated feature mate rial, is based on relating the Word of God and the message of Christ to the modern space age. This year, too, Gospel Light Press puts a heavy emphasis pn Bible vis uals with gianj; 11 by 17 colorful pic ture stories, bringing a new concept to this important area. A dramatic filmstrip prepared by Ethel Barrett is a v a ila b le to churches. She has also recorded some excellent 7 inch LP albums on the various phases of Vacation Bible Schools. Concordia Publishing House S t Louis, Missouri Four complete craft sets for nurs ery, kindergarten, junior, and junior high are among the art projects from the outstanding Lutheran publishing firm. The appropriate theme for the 10-day Vacation Bible School is “ God’s Children Pray.” The art work in color with the various children of different nationalities is particularly appealing. The publishers feel that one of the most awesome and yet blessed privileges a Christian pos sesses is that of prayer, yet it is one most often neglected. Great Commission Publications 7401 Old York Road Philadelphia 26, Pennsylvania From the Orthodox Presbyterian Church a new series of Vacation Bible School materials has been pro duced, samples of which are avail able in an attractive kit. Complete information is listed in a handy 24- page catalogue, available upon re quest. Work books are available for younger groups. The G reat Commission stresses “ full Bible content” with the sugges tion, “ Let the Bible speak for itself.”
Utilizing a new theme, “ Proclaim ing Christ Our Peace,” Scripture Press Publications of Wheaton, Illi nois has produced some outstanding materials for this important aspect for the church’s summer program. A helpful kit contains descriptive materials, including a leader’s hand book with new ideas for VBS plan ning, preparation and publicity. In addition, there are 20 VBS charts and check lists. Before making any final decisions, the Christian educa tion director, or the appointed com mittee contemplating the plans for VBS, will want to make a careful study of these features. (The kit also includes a $2.50 credit certificate for orders totaling $25.00 or more.) A film strip, showing the “ Royal Commission,” is available for teach er-training. It is also ideal in de partmental staff meetings, workers’ conferences as well as parent-teacher meetings. Actually, eight new de partmental film strips are offered this year covering the areas from nursery to the adults. Standard Publishing Hamilton Avenue at 8100 Cincinnati, Ohio One of the most impressive sample kits for this year has been produced by Standard Publishing Company and resembles a colorful brief case or portfolio. The theme for 1965 is “ My Saviour Teaches Me.” An excel lent plan directory is presented which also serves as an order book, including special gifts and awards. The areas of concentration are on nursery - pre-school, beginner, pri mary, junior, and junior high. For the director there is a special man ual and song book. Standard also is making available a new film strip with the title, “ Seek Ye First the Kingdom.” A recorded narration is available for the picture. Crafts are always an important item and this publisher has produced in triguing materials for each of the five grades. Every box contains proj ects designed to last for the entire conference.
