Tiniest Little Church, Yuma, Arizona

Along Highway 95 on the way to Hidden Shores Village, in the most unlikely of locations, is a wee little church. Set in the middle of a dusty field (which looks like it is used for farming, but during our stay, sat fallow), down a dusty road, is a wee building that looks like a child's playhouse. Beckoning visitors from the highway is a sign that says "Pause, Rest, Worship". It's almost impossible not to drive the ¼ mile down the lane just to see what this is all about.  With a little poking around on the internet, I discovered this church was built by a farmer in 1996 in honor of his wife. The miniature church measures about 7 by 12 feet, seats around 12 people on tiny little benches, has an altar with a guest book visitors can sign, and a book of hymnals. Too hard for the curious to pass by, check it out for yourself if you're ever in the area.
