The new pastor at the Cove Road Church in Covington
discovers that a former pastor from forty years ago was
never ordained as a minister, and was therefore not
qualified to marry anyone -- which means that five
longstanding marriages are invalid! With their marriages
thrown into crisis, it's decided that the couples
absolutely must remarry on Christmas Eve. But with the
church desperately in need of repairs and lacking the funds
to fix the rotting floorboards and the outdated heating
system, how can they ever get it ready in time?
Sounds like a job for the ladies of Covington! Grace,
Hannah, and Amelia step in to organize the weddings, while
their friends and neighbors volunteer paint, lumber, and
good old-fashioned elbow grease to fix up the church. But
when last-minute obstacles threaten to stop the weddings,
they're going to need a miracle to turn Christmas Eve into
a wedding day that no one will ever forget.
