Handbells and Choir

Have you missed hearing the choir and the handbells?

We’ve missed being able to rehearse together and perform in church. You might have seen videos of choirs and instrumental groups performing “together,” each person in their separate little Brady Bunch window. Those are fun, but they’re very time-consuming to produce and need lots of work by someone with a good deal of ability in editing! Everyone’s internet speed is different, so while we can see and communicate with each other online, we can’t make music together. It’s been an enormous loss for us.

We thought we’d share some photos, videos, and recordings of some of the choir and the handbells over the past several years. Until we can perform together and in-person again, we hope you enjoy these!
