The year is 1938. It's Saturday night in Mount Pleasant, N.C., and the Rev. Oglethorpe has invited the Sanders Family Singers to provide an upliftin' evening of singin' and witnessin'. The audience is invited to pull up a pew and join in the rollicking good time. More than two dozen songs, many of them vintage pop hymns, and hilarious stories from the more or less devout Sanders provide a richly entertaining evening that has audiences clapping, singing, laughing and cheering.

"Totally beguiling ... foot stomping soul food." .... The N. Y. Post. "A charming and funny celebration of Americana." .... the N. Y. Times.
