Several members of the Adult Bell Choir will attend the Area V Fall Handbell Conference to be held in Columbus on October 27^th and 28^th. Melissa Ward, Gayle Galbraith, Susan Henry, Julie Pratt and Margaret Dill will participate in this conference with 900 other handbell ringers under the direction of nationally acclaimed composer and director, Kevin McChesney.

The Hosanna Choir, Amazing Grace Ringers, Joyful Noise Ringers and Adult Bell Choir kicked off the new season on Sept. 20. with some new members and many not so new members. There’s still plenty of room for you in the music program at St. John’s. If you’d like to consider ringing in the Adult Bell Choir but would like to give it a try in a private setting, please speak to Margaret. One of her favorite things to do is introduce someone to the wonderful world of handbells! The Gallery Choir is in need of male singers to balance out our wonderful soprano/alto sections. Won’t you consider lending us a voice?
