Handbell Choir

The Handbell Choir praises God through music "rung" by English Handbells.  The bells play during our traditional worship services at 8:00 a.m., as well as during our special services (Christmas, Easter, etc.). 

Previous experience ringing handbells or a background in music is helpful but not required.  Regular attendance at rehearsals and "handbell Sundays" is necessary.

Time involved: 45 minutes weekly for practice (currently from 7:30 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. on Wednesdays), and the 2nd and 4th Sundays at the traditional service from September to June.

For more information or to arrange an introductory session, please contact our Handbell Director Deb Donovan - phone: 262/242-7430 or e-mail [email protected]
