Handbells Ringing Again
When September comes around, there seems to be a “Back to . . . ” frenzy. In the church that often means Back to Sunday School, Back to Choir, and Back to Handbells. This past Monday, the handbell group I ring with started our Fall season — we were fewer in number (only 6), but one more will be arriving next week.
And what is the moral of the story? For handbells, at least, you don’t need a dozen ringers and 3+ octaves of handbells to make music. Even 6 or 7 ringers with 2 octaves of bells can make some joyful noise.
Handbell Inspiration – The St Olaf Ringers
If your church has a handbell choir and you are interested in ringing, ask the director how you can participate. Most choirs welcome new people with open arms and will help you learn the joy of bell ringing. It all begins with counting 1, 2, 3, and 4.
