Our Ringing Choirs help you experience the joy of music and the satisfaction of praising God as you serve in cultivating your God-given talents in ministering to our congregation and the community through sharing handbell and handchime music.

All choirs serve monthly in worship, at the annual Fine Arts Celebration, at Hanging of the Greens and at Christmas time. Gifted and blessed with 5 octaves of Schulmerich Handbells and 7 octaves of Malmark Handchimes, our choirs enjoy praising God with their music!

Exactly How Did I Get Here? Part II

The Scripture for this final sermon is Mark 6:30-44. In this passage, Jesus recommends a time of rest and spiritual renewal for the disciples. The twelve had just returned from a mission during which they preached and healed. Jesus thought his closest followers needed a Sabbath, so he led them to a deserted place to recuperate. But Jesus’s planned retreat was interrupted because the crowds discovered where he was and packed the place. In this setting, Jesus demonstrates his compassion, showing himself to be the Good Shepherd as he cares for his people, sacrificing his own much-needed rest.

What about free will? How should we really trust in God?
