“Burst into jubilant song with music!” Psalm 98:4
Dressed in their holiday finery, Tiny Steps Montessori students presented their annual Christmas program to a full sanctuary on Dec. 18.
Under the direction of their teacher, Ms. Sudha (Sudha Udupa) and accompanied by Ms. Lucy (Lucy Rhodes), they sang their hearts out with seasonal favorites ranging from “Jingle Bells” to “Away in a Manger.”
What a blessing Tiny Steps continues to be to our church and community!
Following the program, Sudha (with the help of Moorthy) hosted a beautiful reception in the fellowship hall. Punch and dozens of homemade cookies helped everyone celebrate the students for a job well done!
Thank you, Sudha and students, for reminding us of the reason for the season! Merry Christmas!
