In 1940, ethnographer and author Zora Neale Hurston shot about 40 minutes of film of church services in a Gullah community in South Carolina. No sound exists, so about 15 minutes of this footage has been paired with audio recordings of similar services. They don't sync up, but it provides a good sense of what the atmosphere would have been like. It's a really fascinating glimpse into the community, but pretty much just a glimpse.
