God's Gift to You

"The Savior-yes, the Messiah, the Lord has been born in Bethlehem, the city of David"!
Luke 2:11

 

You don't realize the meaning of Christmas until you take Jesus out of the manger and put him in your heart.

 

Keeping God in the Small Stuff-2000 by Bruce Bickel and Stan Jantz

Very Special Guest Author Visits AMCS

I am very delighted to announce we will have a guest author visit Ave Maria next week. His name is Father Brian Morrow, author of The Tale of Moresy Bug & Benjamin Getts.  I have known Father Morrow for many years. His book is based on his Advent homily; The Moresy Bug, which he has shared with families throughout Colorado and the southwest for over 20 years. My children who are now ages 22 and 27 still recall this as one of their favorite Christmas Mass traditions as growing up.

 

Copies of his book, which he will personally autograph, are available for purchase while he is here visiting. Father Brian is VERY generously DONATING ALL THE BOOKS AND PROCEEDS, sold at Ave Maria, towards our Fine Arts program. But it doesn't stop there, Father Brian would like to challenge someone in our community to match his donation! Any takers???
