Outdoor Creche

This year the Church of the Child Jesus in Boeung Tum Pun decided to enlarge their Christmas creche as part of their Christmas awareness outreach for the neighborhood.
They developed a whole village, even with a running stream. Already they are making plans for next year when they want the figures to be larger.

Simbang Gabi in Phnom Penh 3

The Philippines Embassy in Phnom Penh was trying to recreate the spirit of the Simbang Gabi pre-Christmas devotions celebrated on the nine days before Christmas in the Philippines but limited it to three nights. The first two nights were Catholic masses but the third night was an ecumenical service with people attending from five Christian churches.

A woman pastor from the Jesus Is Lord church led a session of praise and worship.
Another leader, from the International Christian Assembly, led music performed during the collection of the offering
A Christmas nativity scene erected outside the Embassy of the Philippines.

Simbang Gabi in Phnom Penh 2

This evening the Filipino Community had a second Simbang Gabi mass at the Philippino Embassy.

This was the second of the three evening services to be held as part of Simbang Gabi. The first two were Catholic masses. The third will be a Christian ecumenical service.
Again the mass goers were treated to Christmas music after the service, this time from the Nine Harmonics (one was missing tonight!). They had an energetic and fun performance.
