The Trinity Christmas Pageant 2010
Trinity Church held its annual Christmas Pageant on Sunday, December 19 at 4 p.m. Over 300 people attended this beautiful candlelit service of lessons and carols. The story of the Nativity was told in a tableau format with the 4th and 5th graders as the cast of angels, shepherds, King Herod, the 3 wise men and their pages. Pastor Kathleen Adams-Shepherd was the narrator and the music was provided by the youth choirs: The Trinity Choristers and the Primary Choir with Fiona Smith Sutherland as the director.
The gifts on the steps were brought in by the children who attended the pageant. They are for the children at Amos House - a transitional homeless facility in Danbury, and were taken there in time for Christmas.
Sue Vogelman, Minister of Children and Youth Education directed the pageant. “This was my 10th pageant as director and it was just beautiful. The kids did a great job as usual.” The Symes family portrayed the Holy Family with Christopher as Joseph, Heather as Mary, and 3 month old Ryder as baby Jesus. Mason Symes (2 years old) portrayed a little angel who flitted around the manger. Christopher Symes was also in the pageant almost 20 years ago as a shepherd. His parents (Curt and Connie Symes) were thrilled to see their own child and then their grandchild be in the Trinity pageant a few decades later!
