Loaned Manger

Dec 18, 2022

All aboard the Christmas Express, making its very first stop in the festive town of Incarnation! The arrival of the railroad brings excitement, but also a fear of outsiders and a feeling of insecurity. To impress their big-city guests, the town decides to build a dazzling electric Star of Bethlehem.


At the same time, rumors of the dangerous bandit, "The Lonesome Stranger," have the whole town on edge. The Sheriff deputizes a well-meaning but clumsy posse, leading to a series of hilarious mistaken identities. As the town gets caught up in catching outlaws and creating a modern spectacle, they begin to lose sight of the simple, powerful story at the heart of the season—symbolized by a 200-year-old manger. "The Lone Manger" is a fun-filled Christmas western that explores how God's plan is bigger than our fears and more timeless than our trends.
