- Description:
- This audio recording features a church service at Cascade United Methodist Church in Atlanta, Georgia. The service proceedings include songs, the prayer of confession, the act of praise, the affirmation of faith, and a sermon delivered by Joseph E. Lowery (at 00:47:20). In his sermon, Lowery begins by speaking about the Book of Acts, Chapter 20 and the insights this scripture provides into the worship patterns of the early church. Lowery goes on to speak about the idea of "spiritual sleeping" where a person does not wake up to the depth of grace that church can provide them. The recording concludes with the singing of more hymns, with Lowery leading the singing of "We Are Climbing Jacob's Ladder". The recording cuts off during comments by Lowery on Black men acting as role models for young people.
