In the jungle...

Last CHYPS night our team had to pick a character or part of the jungle to act out, and we created a crazy jungle scene - complete with T-Rex and 'dirt'!

Other games we played were Biggest Fan Rock, Paper, Scissors; a highly competitive game of dodge-ball and 2 Truths, 1 Lie.

Join us next month, 18th May for more crazy CHYPS fun!

Introducing...

Next CHYPS is 18th May - we'd love to see you there!

Bring a friend and join us for some crazy games, lots of laughs and PRIZES!

CHYPS Youth Group started off with an awesome bunch of young people, in school years 7 to 13.

We played Hovering Bunnies, Protect the President, and games which involved 'not following the crowd', but thinking about what the right thing to do was. We ended with our God time, in two groups (intermediate and senior) and a scrumptious supper (thanks to Sue and Belinda!)

Thanks also to our new minister Rev Anne Preston, who was such a great sport, joining in all the games (even 'Hovering Bunnies' - "Teeth! Teeth!") and helped with supper.

We also loved the new games - table soccer, pool and air hockey!

CHYPS is back!

Join us this Saturday night for the first CHYPS session of 2019!

More of the bits you love and a heap of new games :o)

Bring a friend!

CHYPS Celebrate!

On Saturday night our CHYPS team were treated to a special Christmas supper, where we celebrated Christmas and the past two years of youth group. We thanked and farewelled the Petaia sisters, Philomena, Catherine and Berith, who have been awesome youth leaders these past couple of years!

Masterchef Challenges

Last CHYPS had our teams competing to make the best savoury dish to wow any Masterchef judge. Fortunately our judge was Helen, whose expectations were perhaps slightly lower than that of the TV Masterchef judges.

Helen awarded points for taste, presentation and artistic style - of which there was plenty.
