A reminder we all need from time to time. Joy isn't about pretending life is easy - it's choosing hope even when we know it's complicated.

If you're looking for a place to grow in faith, find community, and be reminded of that hope, we'd love to welcome you.

Go Rick Whittle!

RIVER CITY RINGERS JACKSONVILLE RINGER PROFILE:
Rick Whittle joined the handbell world in 1966 when the first handbell choir was formed at Hendricks Avenue Baptist Church. His enjoyment is evident as he skillfully whips those more-than-8-pound bass bells around.

Playing the trombone is another one of his musical outlets.

Rick also enjoys collecting comics, photography, camping, and gardening.

Please show Rick some love by liking and sharing this post, and by inviting your Facebook friends to follow our page. Check back because we’ll be announcing our series of Christmas concerts for 2026 soon!
