Teen-Age, 1939-1940, 1943-1960.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/49884243

The program packets in this series are those created for use by teenaged members of the Women's Missionary Society/Augustana Lutheran Church Women (WMS/ALCW) and are from 1939-1960. At first teenaged young women were members of the Young Women's Missionary Society (YWMS). The program packets from 1939-1950 were published for the YWMS with additional material written specifically for teenaged members. Starting in 1943 programs written specifically for teenagers appeared in packet material. In 1951 a separate division was created for teenaged members and the Teen Age Missionary Society was created. Program packets written after this time reflect this organizational change. Beginning with the 1959-1960 program year there were no longer teenage missionary societies. Program material was still published by the WMS/ALCW for teenagers, but was written for use by Luther Leagues and congregational teenage clubs. There are no packets for 1941-1942 in this group of records. The packets in this series are quite similar to program packets created for the women's missionary societies. They contain educational programs for the year, suggested topics and outlines for meetings, supplementary study materials, and promotional and educational pamphlets addressing specific mission topics, and topics geared toward young people. Material consists of printed booklets and pamphlets, and typewritten informational sheets used in the earlier program packets and as supplementary information in later packets. Examples of topics explored in these missionary programs include stewardship, church service, understanding cultural and race issues, North American mission work, Augustana mission work overseas, and needs of different segments of local congregations. Large maps and charts were removed and placed in an oversized folder. Series folders from which this material was removed have a notation to this effect. Duplicates were removed. Records are arranged chronologically.
