Road Signs, Airlines, and Stars


Book Description

Three all-new inspirational programs from the pen of popular CSS author Cynthia Cowen are sure to bring wonder and joy to your congregation's seasonal celebration. In Our Advent Journey we travel with youth as they pick up friends and road signs on their way to a church Christmas party. It's an exciting resource with a salvation message that's perfect for a Sunday school program or worship service. Then join Mary and Joseph as they make their way to Bethlehem on Salvation Airlines in The Christmas Travelers. A Sunday school pageant with a unique twist, this program declares the message of Christ's birth through narration, readings, and song. Star Of Wonder gives you an opportunity to involve older youth or college students in a complete Christmas Eve worship service for families. In addition to a charming skit ("God's All-Stars"), a litany, prayers, readings, and carols are included. And like all of Cowen's worship resources, Road Signs, Airlines, And Stars comes with complete orders of service and leader's helps. All three programs will delight your congregation while encouraging youth participation. A prolific and enthusiastic writer of worship resources, Cynthia E. Cowen has produced numerous pieces for CSS Publishing Company since 1991. She holds a B.A. degree in education from Northern Michigan University, is a graduate of the Northern Great Lakes Synod Lay School for Mission, and has been certified in youth ministry at Wartburg Seminary. Cowen serves on synod leadership teams for youth, women, and clergy, is a licensed lay minister in a small congregation, and is currently a rostered Associate in Ministry in Youth and Family at Our Saviour's Lutheran Church, Iron Mountain, Michigan. She was elected to the Executive Board of the churchwide Women of the ELCA in 1996, and serves on its Printed Resources committee.

The WPA Guide to Michigan


Book Description

During the 1930s in the United States, the Works Progress Administration developed the Federal Writers’ Project to support writers and artists while making a national effort to document the country’s shared history and culture. The American Guide series consists of individual guides to each of the states. Little-known authors—many of whom would later become celebrated literary figures—were commissioned to write these important books. John Steinbeck, Saul Bellow, Zora Neale Hurston, and Ralph Ellison are among the more than 6,000 writers, editors, historians, and researchers who documented this celebration of local histories. Photographs, drawings, driving tours, detailed descriptions of towns, and rich cultural details exhibit each state’s unique flavor. Published in 1941, the WPA Guide to Michigan documents the rich history and economies of the Great Lake State. From the Upper Peninsula to the Lower, and the Straits of Mackinac between, the guide features many photographs of the distinctive geography as well as essays about marine lore, architecture, and—in the essay on Detroit—the nation’s burgeoning auto industry.
