Grace Family Church Ballito hosted its annual ‘The Light Party’ on Friday, drawing more than 200 children for an evening of faith-filled fun.

Families enjoyed a vibrant celebration of Jesus through games, inflatables and interactive educational shows. Salt Rock Airsoft and Laser Rush located at Salt Rock Country Club did a great job in providing extra entertainment and adventure.

The highlight of the night was a captivating performance by the ‘Mad Scientist’, delighting both children and adults alike.

‘The Light Party’ is organised by Kids United, which is a collaborative non-profit initiative between several North Coast churches, held every October.

Charissa Brauteseth, one of the event organisers, said the party was well attended and full of energy.

“It was a beautiful evening of community, joy and a whole lot of sugar fuelled smiles.”

Guests indulged in a variety of treats, including pizzas, burgers, candyfloss and sweets, with prizes at every game station. The event offered an alternative to Halloween.

“The aim is to create a safe, positive and joy filled environment for children to experience worship and learn more about Jesus in a fun way,” said Charissa, who noted the event is not a fundraiser, but they donated leftover food and sweets to a local crèche in Amatikulu, which the church also supports.
