This second volume follows the tremendous demand for and interest in Cynthia Cowen's first book. These programs are designed for easy implementation at women's meetings, youth gatherings, and congregational events. Leader's helps are provided to indicate what props, songs, or readers are needed. This collection of 15 programs, like the first volume, is reflective, at times humorous, and includes skits, meditations, and other suggestions to fit the season, including Lent, Spring, and Advent. Programs include: • A Mother's Heart, A Celebration Of Woman • A Journey With Prayer • No Fooling! A Look At The Month Of April • Bloom Where You Are Planted! • God's Pentecost Pantry • I Am The Vine, A Harvest Of Worship • God's Advent Rainbow and eight more...
