PUBLIC SCULPTURES:         LET THE CHILDREN COME         THE HOPE MEMORIAL

Retired Hallmark Keepsake Artist Duane Unruh sculpted a life-sized statue for his church, Colonial Presbyterian.  The statue features a sitting Jesus surrounded by little children.  The base is engraved with scripture, “Let the children come to me and do not hinder them: for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” Matt: 19:14

Duane attended the church for over 60 years and his sculpture is a tribute to his first pastor there, Reverend Ted Nissen.

The sculpture can be seen at both campuses of the Colonial Presbyterian:

  • South KC
    9500 Wornall Road
    Kansas City, MO 634114
  • Overland Park
    12501 W. 137th Street
