https://clyp.it/user/lqfiqjrw # Mary Handbell Choir is always looking for people interested in ministering through music. The choir rehearses Monday evenings, September through May, in the choir loft at St. Performances vary throughout the year averaging one weekend per month with Christmas Eve and East

er seasonal highlights. We also occasionally do additional Community Outreach in the form of concerts at local Nursing and Assisted Living Homes. Previous exposure to bells is not a requirement, but the ability to read music and experience with other instruments or ensembles is an asset. Regular membership in the choir requires a steady commitment to practice and performance schedules. Swing/substitute positions are also open for those interested in participating but unable to fully commit to all obligations. If you’re interested in learning more about the handbells or joining the choir, please contact Martha Paalman ([email protected] or 920-420-6481) or stop by the choir’s table during Time and Talents weekend.
