Ellsworth, Michigan: Wayside Chapel

I have been in a few small churches across the country, and the question always strikes me. Why? Why does someone build such a small facility?

The idea was to have a place where travelers could stop and have a quick prayer. The tale of its current owner is told nicely here.  It says that volunteers mow the lawn, keep the place in order, and restock literature.

Most photos show what the chapel looks like from the outside. Here's an inside shot. Get more than four visitors, and we're talking standing room only.
