This year, the Christian Student Fellowship (PMK) of the Faculty of Biology organized an Easter activity in the form of a social service as a tangible expression of love in action. This activity was a collaboration between the Christian Student Family (KMK), the Catholic Student Association (KMK), and the Graduate Student Association (KMP) of the Faculty of Biology. The theme of this year’s Easter was “LOVE IN ACTION,” taken from John 13:34. Lord Jesus commands us to love one another not only in words but also in deeds. Therefore, this activity aimed to manifest actions of love that the Lord has bestowed upon us through social service activities. The event took place on Saturday, April 27, 2024, at Panti Wreda Hanna from 16:00 to 17:30 WIB. The event was attended by Prof. Dr. Kumala Dewi, M. Sc. St., as the supervising lecturer of PMK Biology UGM, Dr. Yekti Asih Purwestri, S.Si., M.Si., as a lecturer from the Faculty of Biology, the event committee, servers, and members of PMK, KMK, and KMP of the Faculty of Biology.
Before the activity commenced, the committee was already at the location to prepare and organize the items. The event began with an opening by the MC, followed by speeches from the Easter chairman and representatives from Panti Wreda Hanna, followed by the presentation of donated items to the nursing home and plaques as souvenirs. The event continued with a moment of reflection and an opening song accompanied by the presentation of roses to the grandmothers at the nursing home. The sermon for this activity was delivered by Pastor Mike Makahenggang, S. Si, M. A. Ps., from GKJ Brayat Kinasih, Yogyakarta. The theme of the sermon aligned with the theme of the activity, which was love manifested in tangible actions. The event concluded with a sharing session with the grandmothers. Through this activity, it is hoped that we can all demonstrate our love for fellow human beings not only through words but also through tangible actions, as the Lord Himself has shown us tangible proof of His love for all of us.
