Vision Meeting 2025
Our annual Vision Meeting was held on 25th February 2025 and attended by over 25 people. Printed copies of the Annual reports by various Team Leaders were handed out to all present.
We were encouraged by Pastor Neville to discuss in groups, around our tables, things that we were grateful for and could thank God for at the Gatehouse church. Also discussed were specific items to pray for: A Building Fit For Purpose - practicalities of the upcoming building project; finances received so far; ongoing maintenance required in the church and for people to help; the need for a youth worker; ideas of facilitating more fellowship and prayer (e.g. more small house groups/clubs, movie nights, special events for new people, discipleship courses etc.) so that we can include newcomers and thereby work more at being 'family'.
Church Leader, Ihechi Anozie shared about partnership, prayer and fellowship. Scripture quotations were from Exodus 14 & 17. He said: "We are in partnership with God and there are things that GOD will do and there are things that God has given US to do. God will always do his part - the question is will we do our part? As in Exodus 17:8-15 the PEOPLE helped Moses as he was lifting his hands up (obedience) and when his hands grew tired, something that MOSES had to do was to keep holding his hands up (a sign of surrender, prayer and worship) and something that GOD had to do was to make them victorious over their enemies (as He had promised)."
He went on to add: "Who was more important, the foot soldiers or Aaron and Hur who had to support the hands of Moses, or was it God who gave Moses the rod? God works in partnership and he designed it that way because without Him we can't, and without us He won't. We maximise it through obedience to God, through prayer and through fellowship."
"If we join the leadership in prayer, work and obey the calling that God has placed on our lives, there will be nothing that we can't achieve!"
