24742, Tuesday Morning

This collection includes items produced by and applying to ministries and churches within the Church of God denomination sponsored at the state or local levels, rather than a general church department. Series are assigned by region or state, then specified to city and ministry levels. Cross-regional ministries, with Church of God backing, but not sponsored by the International Offices, may be given their own series.

Contains one (1) folder of unitemized materials on the named topic.

Countless local congregations, and especially their Ladies/Women's Ministries, have published cookbooks as fundraising ventures for building projects, missions programs, and operating expenses of the church. This accruing collection serves as a memorium, preserving and making available many of these cookbooks. Not only are they great resources for comfort-food recipes, they are a window into the culture and operations of portions of the Church of God.

While many unpublished manuscripts naturally find their home in individual, family, or institutional collections, there are other manuscripts in our holdings which do not have such a home. This accruing collection brings intellectual cohesion to those manuscripts that broadly fit our holdings but are not included in other collections because each one might be the only item we have related to a person or a variety of other reasons.
