The bell choir is currently without a leader. If you have the time and the ability to lead this beautiful music making ensemble then search your feelings, pray for guidance and step forward. Please contact Nancy Pittard if you are interested or have questions.
Messiah's Bell Choir is an all volunteer group. We used to practice one hour a week and try to play once a month for service. Our music ranges from A Level 1 to as high as Level 4. This keeps things challenging for all ringers but not overwhelming. Our music is a mix of secular and sacred and we try to work up a fun nonsense piece to end our season in May. Novice to experienced, we are open to all!
