In November, Mayfair SDA Church hosted a special Paint and Craft Event for children ages 5-13, led by the Children’s Ministry and Mental Wellness Ministry.
The event’s theme was The Armor of God based on Ephesians 6:10-20. Through a fun and interactive lesson, the children learned about the spiritual protection God provides to help them stay strong in their faith and stand against life’s challenges with confidence and courage.
Children created their own paintings and crafted armor pieces—helmets, shields, and swords—which they took home as reminders of what they learned. Each child also received a folder with reference materials to reinforce the lesson and continue growing their understanding of God’s truth.
While the kids enjoyed their activities, parents gathered in a designated hangout space hosted by the Family Ministry Department, where they engaged in a meaningful parenting workshop. This time of fellowship allowed parents to gain wisdom, encouragement, and tools to support their children’s spiritual growth.
It was a joy to witness young minds growing in faith and creativity. Seeing their excitement as they discovered God’s love and protection was genuinely inspiring. As Proverbs 22:6 (NKJV) reminds us, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
We are grateful for the opportunity to pour into the next generation and look forward to more events like this, where faith, family, and fun come together beautifully!
