Giant boulder narrowly misses Massachusetts church (w/ video)

Saugus, MA (CNN) - Cameras captured a construction blast outside a church that nearly became a demolition job a Massachusetts pastor says it was divine intervention that kept the church from being damaged.

Watch the boulder - so close to the church. Just a few inches separating a quirky story from a disaster.

Pastor Rick LeClair Grace Ministries Church: "If it had rolled another 12 inches it would've went right through the building. And this boulder was probably 20 tons."

Rick LeClair is pastor of the Grace Ministries Church on Main Street. An excavation company is clearing land next door, and their removal of some rock this week nearly moved a heck of lot more.

Rick LeClari: "We were standing across the street going, 'Uh-oh. There it goes.' I was thinking the church was going to get wrecked, but I had this peace about me where it really wasn't going to get wrecked."

Rick is, of course, a religious man. He's got a feeling there was something divine about all of this.

Rick LeClair: "The Lord just kinda said, 'That's enough.'"

Grace Ministries feeds thousands of out of the food pantry at the church, folks in the community count on this place and it was almost lost.

Rick LeClair: "It would have probably closed us down, but it didn't," he said.

Everybody around the whole neighborhood and working on the site were under the same kind of agreement that the lord intervened.
