Munce Group's Christian Product Expo (CPE) Hershey, scheduled for Jan. 16-18, will feature the premiere of The Grace Card.

To be held at the Hershey Lodge in Hershey, Pa., CPE Hershey kicks off Jan. 16 with a Bible conference led by speaker/author June Hunt and pastor/author Keith Johnson, followed by an evening dinner—with Rebecca St. James performing during the Night of Worship.

Later that night, the event will feature a screening of The Grace Card, a police drama starring Academy Award winner Louis Gossett. Telling a story about the power of forgiveness, the Graceworks Pictures and Calvary Pictures movie from Affirm Films and Provident Films is scheduled to hit theaters Feb. 25.

CPE Hershey will also feature several workshops, including "Developing a Bargain and Remainder Strategy That Works" and "Getting the Best Results from Social Networking," as well as Vacation Bible School (VBS) training sessions by Standard Publishing, Abingdon Press, Concordia Publishing House, Group Publishing and Gospel Light.

At the Jan. 17 evening banquet and showcase, author Cindy Woodsmall and a guest from a local Amish community will be featured. Author/speaker Anne Graham Lotz will be the keynote speaker. Additionally, Michael Card will perform music and speak about his new Luke project (InterVarsity Press/Discovery House Music). Later that night, the event will feature a sneak preview of Courageous—the follow-up to Fireproof that will be released in theaters next fall.

Munce emphasizes order writing at CPE by motivating retailers with a reimbursement program that helps to offset travel, food and hotel expenses, based on reaching order-writing goals. Munce serves nearly 500 stores nationwide.
