Imagine after 40 years of marriage, you discover that you aren't legally married. Well, in Covington, North Carolina, five couples find themselves in that situation. The pastor who married them was never ordained and the secret has been hidden in the church attic all these years. The new pastor has to break the news, and what a way to introduce himself to the congregation.
The ladies of Covington come to the rescue and set out to organize a Christmas Eve wedding ceremony for the couples. But time is critical and money is nonexistent. The church needs to be painted and the furnace is beyond repair. As the painting and repairs are underway, fresh flowers and then money are mysteriously being left at the church. As the day draws near, there's one unwilling bride who may or may not walk down the aisle. Will she be a runaway bride, or go through with it for the children's sake? Wait and see as the big day approaches.
A COVINGTON CHRISTMAS is another charming addition to Medlicott's Ladies of Covington series. It's a beautiful story that will warm your heart and nourish your soul. I look forward to reading more books in this series.
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to fix the rotting floorboards and the outdated heating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.
