Putting something on with another club, to build community
AskGod – sheets/leaflets in lecture theatres
Keeping up visibility – posters etc
Talent show – like camp concert! ?
Grim reaper/angel/devil
Christian band – form/invite one
- tour of hostels
“What is Christianity About?” program/lecture
Hostel people – something crazy?
- dress up party
- e.g. Jesus lookalike…?
Movie – e.g. Prince Caspian
- find links to gospel and discuss afterwards
- invite friends
Christian (clean) dancing

Some events with other Christian groups on campus eg. Student Life
Dramatisation/Performance of some sort
Supporting other TSCF groups in New Zealand (eg. meeting up with the Fijian group, prayer day with Palmy group/’exchange type thing-sometimes people have more confidence when talking to students at another campus)
Lego Display based on the brick testament, where people can also come and build their own things (use as a discussion starter) Could also use play dough
Student Alpha/ introductory Christianity courses
Mid-winter Christmas Carols/Dinner with candles and hot chocolate
Cafe night with discussion topics
Poem/poster/pamphlet in the family planning centre (pro-life, and possibly also offering some sort of support?)
Social events –to build existing friendships and make new friends eg. Square Dancing or organised dancing, hacky tournament in the quad, sports day
Alternative Halloween of some kind
Show movies/movie clips and follow up with discussion, use movies that are topical or have some meaning to them
Dialogue Dinners (could be combined with the mid-winter Christmas idea?)

Different question? – what would you thank God for?
If you could ask for one thing what would it be?
Probably best to use the 'what is one thing you would ask God?' because it also brings up misconceptions that people have
Have some people hanging around to talk to people if they want to
Posters/someone handing out things to let people know about it in other areas of uni
Pull-off tags with info about the blog?
