SHILLONG: RIST-USTM Christian Fellowship (RUCF) organised an Advent Christmas programme on the USTM campus on Saturday.
The programme commenced with the rendering of the opening hymn O Come All Ye Faithful by the RUCF choir group of 50 members comprising young singers from all across the northeastern region.
Chujang Gangmei, president, RUCF, extended a warm welcome and felicitated R Chance, Associate Professor, Department of History, DM College of Arts, Imphal, who was the guest speaker. Dr RK Sharma, pro-VC of USTM, was also present.
Chance related many stories from his life to inspire students among the audience. “The advent of Christmas should motivate you to go for a divine exchange. Throw away your sins and bad habits, and get honesty and purity in exchange,” he said.
‘Maranatha’, the annual souvenir of RUCF, was also released.
