We’d like to offer you the chance to come and play around with handbells. This is not a beginner choir but a chance to see for yourselves how fun this instrument is to play. There is no pressure to play in church or to commit to any more than a few weeks of rehearsals. If you can read music, good on you, but not necessary. All that is required is that you can count to 8 and can swing your arms. We will meet on Tuesdays at 6pm, the starting date To Be Determined, later in January 2026. How about a New Year’s resolution to try something new? It will be fun, a little challenging, and you’ll create music with other people. Contact me so I can put your name on the list.

“Gratitude is both a noun and a verb.
Gratitude is both a feeling and a choice. The first often arises unannounced and the second takes a lifetime of practice.”
Grateful, ~Diana Butler Bass
Sisters of the Heart
welcomes all women of the church and community into a quiet morning of shared gratitude in the midst of our everyday realities.
