Papa Was a Preacher Trailers

Edwin Porter, a Methodist minister, is sent to a little church in the small town of Sterling, Texas, to try to save it from financial insolvency. The move is sudden and is complicated by the fact that Porter’s wife and eight children are all very comfortable in the large, successful church they have been serving in Dallas.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
