MORE than 10,000 people are expected to attend the state-level Christmas open house at Shop in d’Park, in Highway Autocity Juru here on Dec 18, 2011.
Some 100 members from 15 churches in Seberang Prai and George Town will entertain guests at the event, themed ‘Love, Peace and Joy To All’ from 6.30pm to 10pm.
The various churches will present carols, songs, dances and sketches with Christmas theme.
The event is jointly organised by the state government and the Christian Federation of Malaysia, which comprises the Roman Catholic Church, the Council of Churches of Malaysia and the National Evangelical Christian Fellowship Malaysia.
Its organising secretary Pastor Samuel Hari said this was the first year the event was held on the mainland.
The event had been held at Fort Cornwallis on the island for the last three years.
“The state government and the committee felt that it was only fair to hold this year’s Christmas Open House in Seberang Prai to enable residents there to join in the celebrations,” he said on Tuesday.
Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng would grace the event, while state executive councillors, elected representatives, Members of Parliament and community leaders are also expected to be present.
He said a variety of Indian, Chinese and Malay food and drinks would be served at the event.
