The Manger Project
The Manger Project is an event where families come together to work on building wooden mangers together. Once the mangers are built, they go under the Christmas tree as a reminder of the true meaning of Christmas.
Leading up to Christmas Day, family members gather for a time of reflection, prayer and to add a little bit of straw to the manger (anticipation of Jesus).
On Christmas day, they place a doll or item that represents baby Jesus into the manger and celebrate God's marvelous gift.
After Christmas, they fill the manger with baby items for a crisis pregnancy center or food items for a food bank or homeless shelter or socks for inmates. Thus a manger becomes a gift basket, and a reminder that the heartbeat of Christmas is emptying ourselves for others. Along with the manger, a devotional guide with stickers and activities is provided to help participants enjoy looking forward to true celebration of Christmas- Christ's birth.
Registration is required by Nov 29th. The cost is $10 per manger kit which includes advent book, hot cocoa and cookies, and craft. Social distancing guidelines in place. To go kits are available.
We are excited to reopen our nursery and children's church on Sunday mornings during the 10:30 service only. Only approved volunteers will be allowed into the classrooms (parent's will not be allowed in the classroom).
- No unnecessary personal items will be allowed in the classrooms (pocket books, diaper bags, car seat, etc).
- We ask that all diapered children have a fresh diaper on to cut down on changes.
- Children and volunteers will be required to wash hands upon arrival and several time throughout the hour.
- All toys will be limited and sanitized throughout the hour.
- Masks will be required for volunteers.

Jesus loved and cared for children during His ministry on earth and we follow His example. Here at Kelleytown, children are the heart of our ministry.
Our Kelleytown Kidz program is dedicated to teaching children to “Know God, Love God, and Serve God”. Our mission is to create opportunities to introduce children to Jesus and to demonstrate His love for them. Our ultimate goal is to guide children to accept Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior
I'm so glad you want to learn more about Kelleytown Kidz. Scroll down this page for a schedule of children's activities offered at KBC. I hope you will join in the fun on Sundays & Wednesdays as we get to know Jesus as our friend.
