Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta
Ecumenical Christmas Celebration of
Christian Students Fellowship
at Yogyakarta Institute of Technology
 
 

Many reused bottles of 1.5 litre bottle was arranged neatly to form a pyramid. The luminescence of multicolor lights flickered bonded this structure. Apparently, this bottles structure was intended as Christmas tree, the icon of Christmas celebration. What a unique and creative style of students who study environment to reuse bottle litter.
 
A song ‘Joy to the world’ accompanied Rev. Sarlin Riri and Mr. Paskalis, the advisory of PMK ITY entering the worship room. Pricil and Tina, two students of ITY conducted  as the master of ceremony of the event. Both were the activists of Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta.
 
Mr Paskalis opened his speech with a question: Why God comes into family? Because a family is a ‘house of Lord,’ in which goodness is expected to begin. This youth fellowship is also a family. Such speech was delivered to respond the Christmas theme, ‘Family In Fellowship’, living together as a family of God.
 
 
On Saturday, January 9, 2016, ITY campus hall became serene during the worship and more solemn when Rev. Sarlin Riri delivered the words of God. She said that peace needed no complex steps. Making peace was like what Mother Theresa has commanded, ‘go home and love your family!’ The world was lack of love. Wars broke everywhere. Many debates and disputes occured. Food crisis and the raising price of basic commodities happened recently.
 
Life should be filled with good mind, behavior and all good things. Unfortunately, people even often curse one to another. In this room we were praising the Lord together, but we hate each other outside. When did goodness happen if this situation continued? Living together is not just a matter of fulfilling hunger and daily needs but also how to share. Commonly a new life may be symbolized in new clothes but the utmost important is the new spirit. Living together as God's family is a will to share what we have.
 
Sharing means mutual enhance life. Philippians 2:1-3 says that we become perfect without any conflict, one heart-like-mind, one love, one soul and one purpose. Hebrews 10: 24-25, reminds us in order to build good things we should not away from a fellowship. The Christian Student Fellowship (PMK) is a partnership of mutual respect and listen each other. We must learn how to live better to invite God to us.
 
Rev. Riri ended the sermon with a recommendation to the audience to change the 'mindset' or the perception to others and to God that our fellow is our co-workers to serve God.

 
This Christmas ceremony was continued by Christmas celebration featuring various song and speeches. At least two hundred students attending the ceremony felt blessing through the sermon. Thank you for inviting Stube-HEMAT and we hope that PMK keeps to have positive activity for students. (YDA).
