The Westminster Handbell Choir is contributing this Sunday to the worship service for the last time in this season. The Quartet will play next Sunday, June 10th, and then all ringers will take the summer off. Rehearsals for next season will begin after Labor Day and continue to the end of May or the first part of June. For nine months, members of the bell choir commit themselves to practice one hour each week and play for worship one Sunday each month (beginning in October) and for special Easter and Christmas services. Members of the quartet are doubling this commitment. If you are interested in doing this form of service for God and His church, watch for announcements at the beginning of the next season; or better yet, let the director or any choir member know right away. You will be contacted personally when rehearsals will begin.
Ringing is FUN, it is CHALLENGING, it is REWARDING!!
Members of the handbell choir this season are: Becky Corson, Danielle Corson, Evelyn Minnich, Dawn Larson, Ingrid Shallenberger, Bonnie Freese, and Marian McClanahan, ringer and director. With three or four more ringers the choir could play the full three-octaves of hand bells and have a full-time director.
