Why are the dance move instructionals only available with a subscription?
On Amber Sky Records we wanted to design a a place for leaders that provided all of the music resources necessary for a Sunday morning. With the annual subscription we packed together dance moves, devotions for your team, worship sets, leader scripts and sound cues that are exclusive to the subscription. This provides all the tools a worship leader or children's pastor needs to lead a dynamic worship time. Plus, receive 100 credits to purchase whichever materials (songs, soundtracks, music videos, etc.) you choose to download.

How is the worship set in the Amber Sky subscription different than the worship set in the 252 curriculum?
The worship set in the Amber Sky subscription and 252 Groups is the same. We suggest three to five worship songs as well as recommending music to play as kids arrive and leave your Large Group production, in addition to a tech sheet with sound cues and a script telling leaders what to say. Subscribing to Amber Sky in addition to 252 allows you to take your worship time and a team to the next level with weekly devotions, as well as instructional dance move videos and credits to be able to download more songs than the free virtue song 252 provides each month.
