HandBell Choir

Members of the Handbell Choir

Handbell Choirs are about as fun as you can get and still actually be in church. The teamwork needed for the Choir to function creates a lighthearted, enjoyable experience for all involved. About two thirds of the current choir members have been with the group since it's inception in 1999. Although we do not currently have openings for new members in the Bell Choir, a group of novice ringers will be forming soon. If you would like to be contacted about the new ensemble, or just want more information, please contact Norm.

Come, give it a try! We promise that if you can count to 6, you CAN ring Handbells! Our Fall 2005 ringing schedule is listed below!

WELCOME TO OUR NEWEST MEMBER, ANNIE AND THANKS TO JUSTIN FOR INVITING HER!

So they always ring with their eyes closed?
