“Thanks John, unfortunately Easter Camp 2011 has been bought to a close for the year but this does not mean to say that the fun HAS to stop. Join me as we look over these highlight reels.”

With the tents pitched, stages set and marquees raised, it all began. That’s right Northcross FM officially went live for the first time. With Segments such as; ‘Singing in the shower’, ‘It MUST stop’ and our favourite ‘Observations’, the broadcast was met with raving reviews and was broadcasted insistently, throughout the weekend.” (Even if it was only Han and Dan who insisted that it played).
Never the less the youth of Northcross Community Church descended upon Mystery Creek, and avidly took up their position as THE RED HAT MAFIA. As criminal as it sounds the only offense came from the seat bludging of Converge. From that point on the challenge had been accepted to make ourselves known “who who who we were.” But the controversy didn’t stop there, nor did the bludging. As Windsor Park adopted the “Just-kick-it-out” philosophy in order for them to advance through to the league football finals, robbing the Mafias place despite an impressive no conceded goal record. Standout performances from Anna Neville and Steffi Wedge saw the Mafia grace their way to the social touch final, despite Daniel Ward’s repeated, ‘Where is the try line?’ debacle. Yet, controversy struck again as they were robbed of the crown leaving the supporters yelling “REFF!!!!!”

Day by day as the fun continued, bonds were formed and a community started to grow. Yet the reason we were there became more and more real with the presence of our living and loving God actively dwelling amongst us the entire weekend. Having been blessed with impacting speakers such as Mike Pilavachi and Jared Noel (all of whom presented a very REAL God) we were challenged to find our true identity and value that is found in Christ.

Sorry there John, I’m just going to have to interrupt you as I have Alastair Bland here on the sideline ready to comment on his thoughts regarding Easter camp, Alistair?  “It was awesome meeting lots of other Christians and learning more about how we can live our lives for God.”

There you have it John, it really sounds like God’s presence moved and impacted the youth of Northcross this past weekend. Coincidently, this too can probably explain why both Pastor Andrew and his wife made it through to the finals of the Wave youth table tennis tournament, blatant match fixing as far as I can see. Similar to the sly moves made by Daniel Ward during the infamous Northcross Talentless quest where he ‘oh so conveniently’ placed his parents on the judging panel. No biggy I hear you say? He got two of the three awards. Just saying.
In all fairness the rapping antics of the Ying Yang twins did prove to be too SKUXX to handle and was justifiably awarded. On a side note, I would like to start a petition to get a YouTube video uploaded of Mr. Ward’s single. I know you all agree. It’s viral material.

Overall, wrapping these incredible four days I would like to thank all the youth for tuning in. It has been both a blessing and an honour to see you get involved over the weekend with such passion and enthusiasm. We look forward to seeing you at Wave and life groups throughout the year. Remember, SKUXX it up and don’t study your geography.
Finally, we have Jaco De Villiers holding on line three. What to do you have to say for yourself Jaco?
“Ja, I feel that due to the amazing prayer night and the great speakers that many barriers and walls were broken down in my life and now I am able to see the world in different shades.”

“Back to you John”
