CD Kynjing, Board Member of the YMCA, led the programme in prayer and dedication.
Rev Iashan Ryntathiang of COJC, gave a sermon on the occasion. He drew parallel of the present political, economic and social unrest with the time of Christ’s birth two thousand odd years ago. He reminded everyone that during the time of Jesus’ birth there was fear but the angels ascended and said, “Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy …”
He also said that at present the youth are filled with fear of their studies, their career, their employment and people in general fear the uncertainty of life itself.
