Synopsis by Hal Erickson
As The Waltons begins its fourth season, Rev. Matthew Fordwick (John Ritter) and schoolteacher Rosemary Hunter (Mariclare Costello) are about to leave Walton's Mountain for their wedding and honeymoon. In their absence, John-Boy Walton (Richard Thomas) agrees to deliver the Sunday sermon, while his mother Olivia (Michael Learned) takes over Miss Hunter's classroom. The new responsibilities take quite a toll on both Waltons--especially John-Boy, who is convinced that he will never be able to come up with the right words to inspire the parishioners.
