Little Sprouts Wish You A Merry Christmas

The preschool affiliated with held its Christmas pageant Saturday morning. The church was packed with standing room only as about 200 people watched about 50 preschoolers sing Christmas songs.

One of those songs was called "Three Wise Men" to the tune of "Three Blind Mice". Other songs that were sung included "Away in a Manger" and "Joy to the World" (See video).

The children spent two weeks preparing for this pageant, said Little Sprouts Director Sandy Haggerty.

"They have angelic voices," Haggerty said. "This was truly a joyful noise."

Christ Lutheran Pastor Robert Cederstrom agreed. "They were fantastic," he said of the performers.

Cederstrom noted that there is only one Lutheran child in Little Sprouts, but performances such as the pageant show how comfortable people are here.

"It shows them that church is more than worship, it's part of the life of the people," Cederstrom said.
