Choir and Music
Handbell Choir:   Alice McCord Ricketts
Alice Ricketts is now serving as director of our Handbell Choir.

Alice has been playing handbells since the age of 12, but this is her first experience as director.

The Handbell Choir rehearses at 5:30 on Tuesday nights and anyone  with  an interest in ringing will be warmly welcomed.

No  previous  experience is needed – you  don’t even need to
read music – we will provide love, support, training and forgiveness for the occasional mistake.

We’d love to have more “ding-a-lings” in the choir.
Our  hope  is  that  our  music  may  touch  your  heart  and  bring  you  closer  to  God.

We  are  always  open  to  having  new  members  join  the  choir,  and we can utilize all voices;  but  at  this  time,  we  are  in  particular  need  of  altos  and  basses.

I would like to reiterate that you do not need to read music, as we go over each part as needed.  All  that is needed is a willingness to learn, a heart that is open, and a desire to be  part  of  a  group  that  honors  God.

If  you  feel  led  by  the  Spirit  to  be  a  part  of  this  group,  come on out on Tuesday evenings  for  an  hour  of  learning,  fun,  and  fellowship.

If  you  would  like  more  information,  please  contact  Judy  Mangrum  anytime.
