Has anyone done Zooplosion?  We are in Starlight Station right now and I am trying to decide where to go in September.  It looks a little "young" to me.  We have two children's churches.....Grades K-2 and 3-5.   Would the older kids think it is beneath them?  We love Elevate!

Mike, if you are out there, any chance you will do a Christmas unit this year?

Okay I know I am like the Elevate needy guy lately but I have a new deadline crisis.

I need to see if someone could send me the artwork for "On the Trail" and for the Elevate JR Spy....

I have purchased both of them and was hoping they would arrive before I left for vacation so I could get them into to our churches Connection book that is getting ready to go to print for the fall.

Mike or any other Fellowship Church Staff if this is not okay I understand....Just say the word...

What is the most cost effective way of printing out the map?

Whenever I've priced it, Kinko's, it was $400+...way too expensive for me.

I'd like to do a 2x 3 or 3 x 4.

Joni,

Shop around sign company's for coraplast quotes...you should be able to get it done for $150-$175 and that would be for a 4X8 sheet or maybe larger...The coraplast actually looks and works better than a banner

We did Shipwrecked last summer. Our boat was made of cardboard from old appliance boxes and balsa wood. We tore up an old bed sheet to be the sail.

If you want a real boat, maybe someone in your congregation has one you can borrow? For a sermon series, our pastor got an old boat once that someone had rusting in their backyard.

Hope this helps!

Just got my year 2 map and logo for berry blast back from Alwayssign--they were very fast and the signs look wonderful...thanks for the heads up, I'm tickled pink that this was so reasonable and their service so fast! 

We've been carving/painting out of styro, but it's so time consuming and there is so much shading that it was not such a good match for the logo, printing worked out great!

THanks again

I'm doing Berry Blast and then Winter Extreme...then on to year two.

Just met with my kid's worship team, which actually ended up being mostly teens (small group leaders, tech crew, and drama leaders), a college student (emcee)...I have a lot of youth helping out.  Thank the Lord for the opportunity to work with them and help train and develop them as they minister to the kids.

I am so excited to start each unit...my kids get excited too.  I really like the way that MIke puts these together, the new theme and excitement of the kids really gives us a boost every few months.

I'm a happy camper!

We're starting Elevate for the first time this Sunday (On The Trail) and, I guess this is more of a technical question, but can I use Media Shout for the opening activities like Zoom Out, etc that are in pdf files?  (I'd like to have everything operated from Media Shout, if possible.)

How would I do this?  Thanks!
