Welcome to the main hallway in our Workshop Rotation Area. Our children are greeted by a thirty foot long, eight foot high mural of Faith Champions. Each champion's pose and props were carefully chosen to teach children how we feel -and the champions feel, about God, the Bible, and our kids. All the murals on this tour were "conceptualized" by Neil MacQueen (who can't paint a lick) and created by Eva Sandor, a graphic arts student in the congregation. Several mural projects also included Sr. High helpers.
Yep...that's John Calvin on the right up there. At the left that's Peter, then Paul, then a Crusader dude. Behind each faith champion's head is a band of landscape where we've depicted the various worship buildings used in the time of the particular heroes. Page UP and you can see the Tabernacle behind Moses' head.
This hallway was originally dark and cluttered. We relit it with track lighting on the mural (it is a work of art afterall) and painted the opposite wall of the hallway dark gray to focus attention on the mural. The effect is wonderful.
