That’s right folks, it’s November which means one more month and we can expect long, gorgeous Summer days! Isn’t that exciting?

We’ve had so much going on here at Northcross lately that you might need some refreshers on what’s been happening in case you blinked and missed it.

Blender has been going off every second Friday night with events like ice-skating, tenpin, Real Life and the Parachute Roadshow! You can see photos here.

There have been baptisms GALORE here at Wave Youth. Ally, Abby and Barbara had theirs down at Browns Bay beach in the pouring rain. Jono wasn’t as brave so he chose the warmth of the baptismal in our Wave service. Dan had his at Tawharanui, also in the freezing cold water. If you’re reading this and you want to know more about baptism, see the A-Team and have a chat.

Tawharanui was loads of fun over Labour Weekend. We had a go at roughing it (some of the boys were a bit stinky by the end of it). The girls held up pretty well under the stress of long-drops and no showers. It was an awesome chance to get to know each other a bit better and hang out. Dan’s baptism was a highlight and the weather was perfect. You can check out the myriads of photos here. WOOOO!

Finally, we had Whoop It Up! It was great to see so many people from the community come out and get into heaps of games. Thanks to everyone who helped out on a game, behind the candy floss machine or making toffee apples (weren’t they amazing!!!). The games were heaps and heaps of fun…. laser tag, gladiator, horizontal bungee, sumo bop, aaaaaannnd THE GIANT INFLATABLE OBSTACLE COURSE! Photos and video coming soon…

That’s not it for this year folks, we still have many hilarious antics to come. Don’t forget about the Bonfire Bonanza at the Elley’s or the Night of the Stars for all you leaders or the Wave Finale.
