Yesterday our homeschool group, and several other people from our church, went to visit the old meeting house of the Sandy Creek Baptist Church, established in 1755 by Shubal Stearns and a small group of believers, and from which hundreds of other Baptists church sprang out of, creating the southern "Bible belt."
We met first at our church building and Pastor gave a short history lesson about the place, and how, amazingly, it all tied into our own country's independence. Really quite fascinating, and sad that it's rarely taught today. Baptists have a rich history that is little known.

We went inside the little building and sang several hymns, and Pastor presented a short devotional. It was neat to sit in there and see how little they had, in our modern minds, and how much they did.
