When They Heard This Sound, A Crowd Came Together In Bewilderment


The photos were taken during several flights over one of the most remote parts of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil's Acre region.

They show tribe members outside thatched huts, surrounded by the dense jungle, pointing bows and arrows up at the camera.

"We did the overflight to show their houses, to show they are there, to show they exist," the group quoted Jose Carlos dos Reis Meirelles Junior, an official in the Brazilian government's Indian affairs department, as saying.

"This is very important because there are some who doubt their existence."

This week we are going to study the start of the church. I wonder what those early Baptist thought on The Day of Pentecost as this new church began. "Is it worth dying for" must have been one of the most asked questions of the day.

What is the purpose of First Baptist Church of Somerville ?

What is God's call to the church ?

Just like the this tribe in Brazil, do people doubt that we exist ?

I pray that we have a good discussion on the state of the church. God keep you safe until we meet in Sunday School.
