Introducing: Flat Jesus!
You are going to start seeing me around Spring Branch Presbyterian this summer – and all over town!
Who the heck is “FLAT JESUS?”
Flat Jesus was created as a way to keep our church connected during the travel season this summer. Print out Flat Jesus, color him in, and take a picture of him wherever you go. You’ll love taking Flat Jesus out to dinner with you, to the beach, to hang out with your grandchildren, and when you meet new friends all over town! It’s an amazing adventure! Take Flat Jesus with you and see what happens!!!!
How to create your very own Flat Jesus
- Print out the double template (here) on heavy cardstock paper if possible, or pick one up in the church narthex!
- Be creative! Decorate Flat Jesus. Think about what, if anything, his robe should say. What color and type of hair does your Flat Jesus have? What color skin tone? Any accessories?
- Make one for yourself and one for a friend!
- Place a reminder on the back of your Flat Jesus on how and where to upload pictures to his Facebook page. You can share your pictures in three ways:
- on the Spring Branch Pres Facebook page — www.facebook.com/springbranchpres
- email to springbranchpres@gmail.com
- bring a print to post on the narthex bulletin board
- If you have access to a laminating machine or contact paper, laminate your Flat Jesus. This way if he attempts to walk on water or spills a lot of wine, he’ll be protected!
- Take your Flat Jesus everywhere with you and take lots of pictures and then share them in a post!
- Talk with family and friends about what you and Flat Jesus experienced.
