Handbell Huddles

Handbell Huddles!

To allow more people to participate in the JOY of Handbell Ringing, we are once again offering “Handbell Huddles”! With this model, a commitment is made for a specific time period, rather than an entire year.  Throughout the 2025-26 program year, we will have five “Huddles,” allowing you to pick the rehearsal and performance time period that works for you. Beginners are welcome; however, we must limit participation to ringers in  middle school and above!  Thank you in advance, since our handbells really enhance our worship!

2026 Handbell “Huddle” sign-up is ready to go –  We cannot wait to hear the bells ringing again!!

If you have any questions, please let Nancy Fox know!
