Handbells!

We're having a handbell ensemble at church for Palm Sunday. This is a view of the bells looking down the table from the big bass end.

I always like to listen to people who perform with the bells.

[Lilith Cherry]

The bells even LOOK musical!

@peterauliciems @honestabe @lilithcherry Thank you!

When we were sitting down after playing, our pastor said to the congregation, "Aren't you glad you're not up there?"

[Pyrrhula]

[Lilith Cherry]

I used to ring Church bells many years ago before I got married ,, it was great fun!

[PhotoButton - Siv]

Great capture - love the reflections!

[Susan McIntyre]

Bells are so much fun. Love the great reflections.

@peterauliclems @omabluebird @photobutton @lilithcherry @pyrrhula It was a lot of fun! What you can't see, above this table is a movie screen that's sometimes used for announcements, and one of our pastors will often put up a map or illustration to go with his sermon. The reflection in the bells is the Power Point slide for Lent- it's white with gold.

I can almost hear the bells! Great perspecitve on this shot, Elyse!

[Camille Bisson]

great shot! i used to play in a handbell choir and it was so incredible to be part of something that beautiful. are you involved?

[Frances Chaloner]

Interesting shot, lovely reflections in the hand bells, I bet the ringing sounded impressive.

@lilithcherry -- Good news! The bell choir was asked to accompany the choir on an anthem for Advent, so I got an e-mail that rehearsals will start for that in November. I can't think about Advent when it's hot outside! But I am thrilled to have another shot at it with the bells. The lady next to me was really good -- I learned a lot from her so I hope I'm next to her again.
