It's October, 1945, and the gospel-singing Sanders Family is back together
again. The war is over and America's years of prosperity are just beginning. But
there's another kind of rite of passage at Mount Pleasant Baptist Church, where
Reverent Mervin Oglethorpe is giving his last service. He's been called to
preach in Texas, and he's already bought a ten-gallon hat and is preparing to
ride into the sunset with his wife June, who is eight months pregnant. Tomorrow
morning, young Dennis Sanders takes over as Mount Pleasant's pastor. Join the
Sanders Family as they send Mervin and June off in style, with hilarious and
touching stories and twenty-five toe-tapping Bluegrass Gospel favorites.
