Flat Jesus travels the world

The last day of Sunday School, Mother Val gave the children each a Flat Jesus to carry with them throughout the year. Adults were also encouraged to take one. Flat Jesus is a reminder that Jesus is always with us. And, everyone is encouraged to photograph Flat Jesus in various settings and then send the photograph to the church office to be posted on the St. John's Facebook page and added to this gallery. (adding locations is a work in progress)
