A
Christmas tale about a young Reverend, Oliver Crawford (Dennis Haysbert) from
Cleveland, is appointed as the new Pastor of the Hallelujah
Church in Washington,
D.C., and travels to DC with his teenage son Nat Crawford (Deon Richmond).
He
is warmly welcomed by his assistant, Eunice Perry (Suzzanne Douglas) but not so
much so by the self-appointed church committee, Elmira Pendleton, Minnie
Thomkins, Deacon Conoly and Rev. Foy (Phyllis Bash, Rosanna Carter, Lex Monson
and Ray Aranha) who never wanted him in the first place and have concerns about
his age and single-parent status, and they give him two days to impress them.
In
those two days he is challenged when he encounters a pregnant teen Kathrine
Marie Campbell (Tracy Douglas) a homeless veteran Big Willie Thornton (Keith
David), Mayor Turner (Phylicia Rashad) and the irascible neighbourhood atheist Old
Man Taylor (James Earl Jones).
But
its Christmas so it is the season for miracles.
