Why the Chimes Rang Christmas Pageant

For one hundred years, students at Church Farm School have told a story that still stirs the soul. Based on Why the Chimes Rang by Raymond MacDonald Alden, Church Farm’s beloved Christmas pageant captures the heart of the season and reminds us that the truest gifts are those offered with love and humility.

Join us as the chimes ring once more and the light of a century-old tradition shines anew.
