Scope and content: Full caption reads as follows: Harmony Community, Putnam County, Georgia.... The Jefferson Baptist Church is the heart of the Negro community. Preaching services are held once a month and Sunday School services every Sunday. There are also prayer meetings on Saturday that are attended only by adults and older children. Every year in August the church holds a week of prayer meetings followed by a week of preaching, and on these occasions people who have left the community make every effort to come home again, even from great distances. However, the older men feel that interest in the church and in religion is considerably less at the present than it was a generation ago.
