Children, 1933-1961.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/49884244

This series consists of program packets designed to teach children about mission work and the mission areas where the Augustana Evangelical Lutheran Church was involved. They were created by the Committee on Missionary Education/Education Committee for children ages 3-14. The focus of missionary education for the younger children, 3-5 years, was that of teaching the children to be courteous, caring, and respectful with the goal of teaching them to accept people different from themselves or from different lands. Missionary education for older children, 6-14 years, focused on teaching about mission projects and service areas the church was working in, and providing children the avenues for participation in mission projects. The material comprises printed and typewritten booklets, pamphlets, and leaflets and is from 1933-1961. Material is subdivided into the age groups for which it was written. Program packets for each age group differ slightly as to the types of materials included. Beginner program packets for children ages 3-5 consist primarily of story books, picture books, nursery rhymes, as well as mite boxes, lapel pins, and promotional pamphlets. Primary and Junior program packets for children ages 6-14 contain material that is more programmatic in nature and very similar to the program packets for teenagers and adults. There are mite boxes, lapel pins, promotional pamphlets, yearly mission program booklets, hymns, prayer reminders, and additional supplemental material. Program packets for certain years are missing from this series. 1946-1950 is missing for Primary packets, and 1946-1951 is missing for Junior packets. There may be some overlap with AUG 40/8/1/4, Church School Packets, as some of the program packets in this series appear to have been created for use on Missionary Sunday in Church School. As with the other program packet series, not all packets are complete, and large items were removed from the packet, placed in an oversized folder, and placed in the map case. A notation to this effect was placed on the folder from which the item was removed. Duplicates were removed. Records are arranged chronologically.

6 boxes.
