    The Uganda Christian University (UCU) end-of-year Christmas party for staff and their children included music, cake and reminders of spirituality and accomplishments. Organized by the Department of Human Resources, it was held December 15, 2023.

    Some of the members of the choir named Team Royals singing during the party. Right (wearing spectacles) is Monica Chibita, the Dean of the School of Journalism, Media and Communication.

    UCU Chaplain, the Rev. Paul Wasswa Ssembiro, thanked God for the gift of the Christmas season, where he said God demonstrated his love for mankind. He centered this message on John 3:16: “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.” Ssembiro emphasized that Christmas was not just about feasting, but also giving to those in need. 

    Several staff, many of them wearing traditional African wear, sang Christmas hymns on stage.

    The Director Academic Affairs, Vincent Kisenyi, commended the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Aaron Mushengyezi, for “keeping the UCU family together throughout the year.”

    Mushengyezi thanked the staff for the “diligent work” and offered prayers for those who had fallen sick, lost loved ones or were involved in accidents. He also challenged the staff to make assessments of how far they had achieved their targets as a department. He mentioned some of the year’s achievements such as landscaping of greenery on the main campus, cleaning, remodeling of buildings and roads, as well as the digitization of the campus operations. 

    Many staff members who had served at the university for 10 years were recognized and awarded plaques for their diligent work. Gift hampers were also given away during a quiz game on facts about UCU. 

    To crown the event, a beautiful Christmas cake was cut and served.
