- Description:
- This audio recording features a church service at Central United Methodist Church in Atlanta, Georgia. The service proceedings include songs, prayers, the act of praise, and a sermon delivered by Joseph E. Lowery (at 00:35:30). Before his sermon, Lowery thanks the congregation for their prayers during his travels. Lowery then begins his sermon message about the "little foxes that spoil the vine" taken from the second chapter, fifteenth verse of the Song of Solomon. Lowery speaks about how we can get wrapped up and distracted by the big things in life to the detriment of missing and not appreciating the small things. The service concludes with the singing of hymns, with the audio cutting out at 00:59:25. Audio note: Segment of severe static at end of recording (begins at 01:02:00).
