"And all the bells on Earth shall ring, on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day, And all the bells on earth shall ring on Christmas Day in the morning"

The First Congregational Church Handbell Choirs are made up of people with a desire to make music for the glory of God while having fun ringing handbells. We have five octaves of Schulmerich Handbells, one set of three octave Malmark Choirchimes and one set of two octave Malmark Choirchimes.
