Our youth handbell choir, "The Ringtones" is made up of youth in the 7th through 12th grades. We are made up of ringers of all skill levels. New ringers are always welcome to join our choir. If you can count and are willing to learn to read music - we can help you work on the rest!!
In addition to participating in worship, we enjoy taking the opportunity to attend handbell festivals in our area any chance that we get.
Sometimes local handbell festivals aren't far enough from home - so every other summer we take our show on the road and go on tour!!! Yes, you read that correctly - the Ringtones go on handbell tours where our motto is "We will ring for food and a place to sleep!" Our director will contact churches along the route of our tour to see if they will offer a potluck supper and a room to sleep in. In return we offer to play a handbell concert for them. We've been to lots of cool places. Our next tour will be the summer of 2010 when we hit the road to travel to Tucson, Arizona to attend the AGEHR Area XI 2010 Festival.
