CCBC Swahili Service Christmas Party held on Sunday 21st

December, 2008 at Crowne Plaza Hotel in Docklands, London

CCBC Swahili Service Church in London held their Christmas Dinner Party on Sunday 21st December, 2008 at Crowne Plaza Hotel, in Docklands near Excel. The party witnessed the best Christian Dance ever hosted by the church. The guests started arriving at the venue at 6.00 p.m. and by the appearance of the guests entering the venue you would know that they had taken time to do some homework for the party. Men came in dressed in black suits, white shirt and a black bow tie. Ladies came with evening dressed ranging from mini-skirts to toe-touching dresses. The food was not the best as it was full range of sea food which is not very popular with Kenyans but when the time came came for the dance everyone forgot about the food and took to the floor. "You cannot miss food and you miss the dance", one guest commented as she took to the floor. Gospel music was played throughout the party with DJ Kamau coming up with popular Kenyan gospel music like "mugiithi".  It was double celebrations for two church members - Miss Mariam Musila and William Wango who celebrated their birthday at the venue. They had a cake to cut and crowning it all with opening the dance floor. Young and old took to the floor where a large number of couples took to the floor to show their skills. Older group was popular with slow motion while the young generations was there for quicker motion but all in all everyone caught up very with the music. It was a great celebrations party which the church has never witnessed before. Late, the church has grown tremendously with new members joining up every week. A large number of Uganda and Tanzanians who are swahili speaking group has joined the church of late. The party was hosted by the resident Pastors Patrick Thuku and Pastor Loise Gitahi. Pastor Jane Njiiri was not there as she on a mission in Uganda. The celebrations went upto the early hours of Monday morning as the members cried: "when are we going to have another one".
