Sign up for the Advent Book Club
Sundays after Mass During Advent - Click image for detailsIn the Bible we are told Jesus was lost in the Temple for three days when he traveled to Jerusalem Passover with Mary and Joseph. Why did he stay behind? What did he do? Who did he meet?Where did he sleep? Was he ever in danger? This Biblical novel is a compelling tale about 12-year-old Jesus, based on the second chapter of Luke's Gospel. This book will grip your imagination as you explore the Temple and experience the drama of ancient Hebrew traditions with the boy Messiah. It's a story for the child in all of us. Pick up your books on November 18, after Mass and the first class will begin on November 25.
