Skits and Plays, 1941-1962.

This series consists of educational material in the form of programs, worship services, plays, dialogues, and devotions, the majority of which were created by the Committee on Missionary Education of the Women's Missionary Society/Augustana Lutheran Church Women (WMS/ALCW) between 1941-1962. These items were created for use by the WMS, the Young Women's Missionary Society (YWMS), and the Junior Missionary Society (JMS) for use at meetings, special worship services and programs, and congregational events and festivals. A small amount of material was written by other church bodies and publishing houses. Earlier material is largely undated. Some apparent duplicate copies were retained because they are different editions. Subjects explored in these materials include, among others, mission fields in Africa, India, and China, home missions, Christmas and Advent programs, Boxes of Blessing, My Missionary For a Day, Life Membership, World Friendship Offering, Jewish missions, increasing Mission Tidings subscriptions, literacy, a reading project for 1957-1958, Thankofferings, the ALCW organization, primary school building project in Africa, social missions, and Missionary Prayer Day services. JMS items are of the same subject matter as the items for the WMS and YWMS. Records are arranged alphabetically.
