Loren Pratts Little Chapel
Loren Pratts Little Chapel sits on the edge of a field outside of Yuma Arizona. The tiny building is 8 x 12 feet with 6 pew on the inside. Loren Pratt built it at the edges of his cotton fields in horror of his deceased wife Lois in 1995. The chapel is also known as Pause, Rest, Worship as appears on a small wooden sign by the road. The chapel is open 24 hours and all are welcome to come and visit.
The tiny church was destroyed in 2011 by a freak microburst storm, but an outpouring of donations helped rebuild it to the same dimensions and even replaced the tiny stained glass windows.
Where it is:
The chapel is located on the side of S. Ave. 13 E. in Yuma, AZ.
Directions:I-8 exit 12. North on Fortuna Rd for two miles, then north on US 95 for a little over five miles. The church is just north of the Bridge to Nowhere — within view of its towers, in the middle of a crop field, to the west of US 95.
There’s a sign on the dirt road that leads to the church reads: “Stop, Rest, Worship.”
