KEARNS — Throughout history God has used angels to touch the lives of believers. They guarded Moses on his exodus from Egypt to the Promised Land, delivered Daniel from the mouths of lions, surrounded Elisha’s camp to defend him, and rolled the stone from Jesus’ tomb. They even engineered a jail break for Peter! Angels have been described as creatures of radiant light, as chariots of fire, or simply men and women sent to us with messages from God.

The Kearns-Saint Ann School Christmas Program, "Touched by an Angel," told the story of how, before Jesus was born, angels touched the lives of many people whom God had chosen to help fulfill the prophecies of the Messiah’s birth.

The school’s Christmas program is always one of the highlights of the school year. Students in grades kindergarten through eight are involved in the program. However, it is the eighth-grade class that carries the lead. It is school tradition that the eighth graders portray the Nativity scene. There are always a few highlighted songs from the kindergarten and first grade classes, and the other grades are the choir.

Each year the Christmas Program at Kearns-Saint Ann School is focused on the true reason for the season, to celebrate the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
