Try Handbells This Summer!

Summer bell choir is open to anyone who ever wanted to try ringing handbells, and to seasoned ringers as well.  All ages are welcome. We will rehearse at 10:00 a.m. June 8, 15, and 22, and ring at the 11:00 a.m. service on June 29. If you are interested, please click here to contact Beth Ann.
