Pastor George Akhigbe revels in victory along with HOG soccer team

House of Glory was invited to a “friendly match” tournament along with other local parishes by House of Praise, Baltimore, a sister parish that had their annual picnic on Saturday, July 25, 2009. The House of Glory team was comprised of members of the dynamic, all-inclusive Synergy group of the church. A group that has being showing great potential this year!
The first match was House of Glory (HOG) vs. House of Praise (HOP), where the HOG team proved its mettle by scoring two points against their opponents – one in each half. Each half lasting for about 25mins. Both goals were secured by Tobi Onibatedo, in an adept display of skill.

Two other sister parishes, Christ Villa and Holy Ground, battled each other, with Holy Ground coming out victorious. The winning team, now a mixed team, faced off with HOG, in a battle for the tournament trophy.
They started off by scoring a goal in the first half against HOG, but the HOG players quickly got their acts together and scored a goal, thanks to the combination work of Tobi Onibatedo and Orlando (our strikers). Orlando placed the ball beautifully into the “net”.
Within the last ten minutes of the game, HOG’s Tobi Onibatedo did what he does best, and once tucked in another goal, that inevitably sealed HOG championship position.

I think I speak for Synergy when I say that the Synergy Conference (which took place July 11, 2009 from 3-7pm) turned out to be a pretty fun event – even if we didn’t meet our goals of filling the church. Those that were there enjoyed themselves immensely. The Synergy Conference was part of HOG’s Family Empowerment weekend.

Highlights

The skit was massively hilarious. There are definitely budding talents in the HOG – Tobi and Muyiwa definitely took us by surprise with their drive. The skit was set in one of Nigeria’s many cities, and was filled with humor and a positive message, of course.

For intermissions, there were special music presentations by Mayowa (singing) and Onuan (singing/keyboard) and a slew of funny videos/ comedic sequences projected to the audience – these were definite ice-breakers.

The rest of the time was spent in lunch, a financial presentation, “Financially Secure & Satisfied”, by Onuan Akhigbe; sumptuous lunch, provided by the Synergy ladies, and the feature presentation, “Investing for a Profitable Future”, by Pastor Albert “TopMan” Tope-Ojo. This presentation was upbeat, fun, and extremely relevant to the audience (typically between the age ranges of 18-30yrs). See highlighted clip below…

The created Facebook event (in the past) can be seen on the House of Glory page.

More of such clips can be seen on HouseOfGloryTV, the church’s YouTube channel.
