The St. James church, at the corner of Harrison and Franklin is in the process of being reborn thanks to the efforts of dozens of people from other churches who spent the day cleaning up the church, and ripping down walls in the basement.
For church trustee Bob Lewis, seeing so many people help leaves him grateful.
Pastor Tim Benjamin from Forest Park United Methodist church see's this as a mission project... one right in their own backyard.
Jim Baker and the Men of Faith came up with the idea to help rebuild this church while on one of their monthly walks about three years ago.
If you would like to help raise money for the St. James church restoration there's a spaghetti dinner fundraiser on Sunday (7/29) from one until six p-m at the Lima F.O.P. Lodge on Robb Ave.
Tickets cost $8.
