Flat Jesus reminds us to keep Christ at the center of our lives even, or especially, when we are far from our church home. As you are out and about this summer, take Jesus along for the adventure. You’ll love taking Flat Jesus out to dinner or the park, to the zoo or to camp, to the beach or the mountains - wherever you and your family go. Then document the adven- tures with pictures you share with your St. Jude family on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. This project is for EVERYONE, not just families with children.
