David tries to bring a new church bell to town on his own, Christy’s father visits and the locals began to prepare for Thanksgiving. When Christy’s father suffers a stroke, her mother informs her that she must return home to care for him. Meanwhile, the Cutter Gap men prepare a surprise for the Reverend.
David:
“Imagine the sound of this bell. Only 100 times bigger. So big you can hear it all over the entire cove. The Pilgrims came all the way across the ocean because they wanted to find a place to raise their own bell. They didn’t know what they’d find when they landed but they had faith. And faith can move mountains.”
