- Little Jesus Adventures. We are on a mission to share Jesus with as many people as possible and we need your help! Pick up several Little Jesus figures from the church office, then go to the Facebook page called LITTLE JESUS ADVENTURES so you can like, follow, & invite your friends to the page. Be sure to pray over your Little Jesus before giving Him to someone you don't know and let them know you hope their day is blessed. Finally, take a picture of your Little Jesus when you place him somewhere or give him to someone and share it on the Little Jesus Adventures Facebook page. Thank you for joining us on this mission to share a Little Jesus with everyone we meet because change starts with us!
