At this time the “Jugendverein” ([[Christian Endeavor|Christian Endeavor]]) and the German school were discontinued. From the mid-1940s to about 1959 Mayfair was a small congregation served occasionally by visiting pastors but mostly by lay sermon readers. When the [[Mullingar Mennonite Brethren Church (Mullingar, Saskatchewan, Canada)|Mullingar Mennonite Brethren church]] closed in the late 1940s their minister, Ben Derksen, served Mayfair until he also moved away. The [[Conference of Mennonites in Canada|Conference of Mennonites in Canada]] established a mission church at Bluebird, Saskatchewan (Bluebird School), an area northeast of Mayfair and Frank Enns from Bluebird served the Mayfair church starting in the 1950s. In 1963 the Mission Board offered to share their minister who pastored at Bluebird and Belbutte, Saskatchewan. Thus Jacob Reimer also served Mayfair. Reimer's messages were entirely in the English language. Formerly, only children's Sunday School was conducted in English; all other church services and business meetings were in German. This language change encouraged non-Mennonites from other backgrounds to worship at Mayfair, encouraging it to become quite ecumenical. By 1975, when the Jake Reimer left Mayfair, it had effectively become a community church since it was the only Protestant church within a 30 km radius. Mayfair was then frequently served by lay members of the Hoffnungfelder churches. Don Unger began serving the three Hoffnungsfelder congregations as a summer pastor in 1982, was ordained at Glenbush on 30 October 1983 and served from August 1983 to 2011 while taking leaves for April 1990 to July 1994 and a year in 2001-02 for mission work in Africa. His wife, Naomi Unger, began to serve as Lay Pastor in 1998; they both retired in 2011.

At this time the “Jugendverein” ([[Christian Endeavor|Christian Endeavor]]) and the German school were discontinued. From the mid-1940s to about 1959 Mayfair was a small congregation served occasionally by visiting pastors but mostly by lay sermon readers. When the [[Mullingar Mennonite Brethren Church (Mullingar, Saskatchewan, Canada)|Mullingar Mennonite Brethren church]] closed in the late 1940s their minister, Ben Derksen, served Mayfair until he also moved away. The [[Conference of Mennonites in Canada|Conference of Mennonites in Canada]] established a mission church at Bluebird, Saskatchewan (Bluebird School), an area northeast of Mayfair and Frank Enns from Bluebird served the Mayfair church starting in the 1950s. In 1963 the Mission Board offered to share their minister who pastored at Bluebird and Belbutte, Saskatchewan. Thus Jacob Reimer also served Mayfair. Reimer's messages were entirely in the English language. Formerly, only children's Sunday School was conducted in English; all other church services and business meetings were in German. This language change encouraged non-Mennonites from other backgrounds to worship at Mayfair, encouraging it to become quite ecumenical. By 1975, when the Jake Reimer left Mayfair, it had effectively become a community church since it was the only Protestant church within a 30 km radius. Mayfair was then frequently served by lay members of the Hoffnungfelder churches.

His wife, Naomi Unger, began to serve as Lay Pastor in 1998; they both retired in 2011.

At this time the “Jugendverein” ([[Christian Endeavor|Christian Endeavor]]) and the German school were discontinued. From the mid<ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">-</ins>1940s to about 1959 Mayfair was a small congregation served occasionally by visiting pastors but mostly by lay sermon readers. When the [[Mullingar Mennonite Brethren Church (Mullingar, Saskatchewan, Canada)|Mullingar Mennonite Brethren church]] closed in the late 1940s their minister, Ben Derksen<ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">, </ins>served Mayfair until he also moved away. The [[Conference of Mennonites in Canada|Conference of Mennonites in Canada]] established a mission church at Bluebird, Saskatchewan (Bluebird School), an area northeast of Mayfair and Frank Enns from Bluebird served the Mayfair church starting in the 1950s. In 1963 the Mission Board offered to share their minister who pastored at Bluebird and Belbutte, Saskatchewan. Thus Jacob Reimer also served Mayfair. Reimer's messages were entirely in the English language. <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">Formerly, </ins>only children's Sunday School was conducted in English; all other church services and business meetings were in German. This language change encouraged non-Mennonites from other backgrounds to worship at Mayfair, encouraging it to become quite ecumenical. By 1975, when the Jake Reimer left Mayfair, it had effectively become a community church since it was the only Protestant church within a 30 km radius. Mayfair was then frequently served by lay members of the Hoffnungfelder churches. Don Unger began serving the three Hoffnungsfelder congregations as a summer pastor in 1982, was ordained at Glenbush on 30 October 1983 and served from August 1983 to 2011 while taking leaves for April 1990 to July 1994 and a year in 2001-02 for mission work in Africa. His wife, Naomi Unger, began to serve as Lay Pastor in 1998; they both retired in 2011. In 2003 Mayfair had a membership of only three, but since it served as the community church Sunday attendance often numbered 15 to 20 participants.</div></td></tr>
