West Virginia Calendar of Events

It’s October, 1945. The war is overand America’s years of prosperity are just beginning. But there’s another kind of rite of passage at the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church, where the Reverend Mervin Oglethorpe is giving his last service. Having been called to preach in Texas, he’s already bought a 10-gallon hat and is preparing to ride into the sunset with his wife June, who is eight months pregnant. Tomorrow morning, June’s brother Dennis will take over as the congregation’s pastor. The Sanders Family sends Mervin and June off in style, with hilarious and touching stories, as well as 25 fabulous Bluegrass Gospel favorites. Additional dates: July 22, 23, 29-31
