Description:: This audio recording features a church service at Central United Methodist Church in Atlanta, Georgia. This service proceeding begin with songs, followed by prayer, scripture readings, and Joseph E. Lowery leading the choir in singing hymns. At 00:22:18, Joseph E. Lowery gives his sermon "Dry Bones" in which he defines dry bones as being dull, stuck, and the same as everyone else. He speaks about how people involve themselves in "giant grapplings over midget matters" to emphasize how people are too concerned with irrelevant issues. Lowery encourages the congregation to avoid dry bones by becoming renewed, focusing on the Lord, shifting values, and being non-conformist. Audio cuts out from 00:41:54 to 00:42:02.
