Our handbell program is gearing up to start a whole new batch of young and beginning handbell musicians this fall. If you have one or more of these aspiring ringers in your family, we want to hear from you!
Preferred ages are 3rd grade through 6th grade, but motivated 2nd graders are welcome. Knowing something about music is helpful, but not necessary. We will teach music notation, rhythm reading, and always move toward working together, responsibility, trust, and musicality.
Contact Bill Alexander at 218-729-8434 or the church office at 218-727-5021.
