On Saturday, March 8, 2025, SFA Church celebrated the Jubilee of Artists, a landmark event for our church that brought together ๐ฎ๐ด ๐๐ฎ๐๐ต๐ผ๐น๐ถ๐ฐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐๐๐ from across Malaysia for the first time. These artists, representing diverse disciplines including painting, sculpting, drawing, and various arts and crafts, showcased their God-given talents. The event recognized the profound contributions of these artists, whose works serve as artistic expressions of beauty found in Godโs creations, our faith, and a means of glorifying God.
The Jubilee of Artists was thoughtfully planned to inspire and celebrate the talents of these individuals. The day began with a warm ๐ ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ & ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ session, where artists connected with Fr. Paul. This was followed by a spirit-filled ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ถ๐๐ฒ & ๐ช๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฝ session led by the SFA CCR Team. Several artists shared their inspiring ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐ท๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐, highlighting how their faith shaped their art and creative direction.

A central feature of the event was an ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฒ๐ ๐ต๐ถ๐ฏ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป showcasing nearly 100 works from all 28 artists. Participants also engaged in ๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐-๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ๐๐ต๐ผ๐ฝ๐, deepening their understanding of the connection between faith and artistry.
