MISSING:JESUS
This Christmas… the search begins.
A Christmas mystery of suspense, secrets, faith, forgiveness, and redemption.
Everybody has a story.
Somebody has Jesus.
The original Baby Jesus disappears from a beloved department store display. With no forced entry and a dark security camera, every clue points to an inside job.
Employees are questioned. Secrets surface. The owner refuses a replacement: “I don’t want a replacement. I want Jesus.” Join us for mystery, humor, Christmas music from the Whitmore Store Carolers, and a story of forgiveness and redemption.
“I don’t want a replacement.
I want Jesus.”
