Christmas Celebrations in Cambodia--2014

Joint Christmas Service -- 14 December

The crowd at the Christmas celebration
This year the joint Christmas service was held at the Intercontinental Hotel in the ballroom. The venue was changed from one of the churches as an evangelistic tack, to attract people who might not want to go to a church.
Ester reads the scripture
The responsibility of the Catholic community this year was to provide a reader for the scriptures, and Ester, one of our lectors, did a commendable job.
The music group
The music group is put together from different choirs and musicians for this occasion. A large part of the service is music.
The overflow crowd
The hotel said they would allow no more than 750 people into the ballroom but people kept coming in and at the end, it was calculated we had 1063 persons in the room. Several pastors have already said next year we'll need to find a bigger venue.
