"If We Build It..."

Truly remarkable things happen when people volunteer their time and talents for the betterment of others. A common cause transcends gender, race, ethnicity, and anything else.  When that common cause is based in faith, it's even stronger.  And amazing things happen.
More than 300 volunteers came together to build a church as part of the "Church in a Day" program.  And no, it's not just a clever name.  They built a 2900 square foot church in Perry, Iowa on Saturday that was ready for use on Sunday!  This same thing has happened in 27 other states and across Canada.  The church is now home to the members of the Calvary Tabernacle Church, a Pentecostal church.  But they weren't the only ones helping.  Other Christian denominations assisted in the construction.  Even no-Christians helped!
Indeed, they built it, and people came!  Not just a group of people, but several different groups.  Yes, that common goal and cause once again transcended difference and worked for the common good.
