Welcoming the love of Christmas, Universitas Pelita Harapan (UPH) held a Christmas event with the theme ‘Born to serve’ on December 15, 2017. This Christmas was attended by approximately 500 UPH civitas consisting of all UPH leader, lecturer, and staff. The Christmas celebration went lively with the Choir and the Orchestra of the Conservatory of Music (CoM) and guided by Coordinator Antonius Priyanto, S.Ag., B.CM., M.Mus., as the worship leader and Michael Budiman as the conductor.
Christmas message delivered by Pdt. Sutjipto Subeno, M.Th., who explained that every one of us who wants to be a leader and who can give an impact must be willing to be a servant. As Matthew 20: 25-28 says where God came to earth not to be served but to serve and to give his life to redeem mankind. |

After the Christmas message, the event continued with a holy night song that goes with wisdom. The cover message was delivered by the UPH Founder, Dr. (HC) James Riady who reminds that Christmas is not just a sentiment of a beautiful feeling at the end of the year. But we must realize that today the world presents a paradox where many people are increasingly skeptical of whatever is in the scriptures.

The series of Christmas event continued with awards to the lecturers and employees who have been faithful working at UPH, and with the solidarity events at UPH Basketball Field. This event is complemented by various contests such as ‘Feed My People’ contest, dance and motion song of ?Jesus Pokok?, orange tree planting competition which has been planted by each faculty, and Video and Photo assessment with the theme of ‘Born To Serve’ conducted by faculty and units.
Through this Christmas and solidarity, UPH wants all citizens to understand the Christmas message of ‘Born to Serve’ and together as a unity serving with the heart to be a blessing. (mt) |
