Righteous Ringers Rock!



The youth handbell ensemble rang for worship today. They performed Kevin McChesney's "Grand March," which includes a French horn solo. They did a great job. We had to make some adjustments since we're only seven ringers trying to cover three octaves. But both performances (FirstLight and 11 AM) were great! Corey M. was a mighty fine addition for this piece. They rang so well I gave them the afternoon off from rehearsal! I'm not sure where the name "Righteous Ringers" came from. I think Bob Ratchford came up with it sometime earlier in the week. The kids didn't barf over it, so if we're not careful it may stick (eeeww!). I am proud of the ringers for taking on both services (offertory at FirstLight and prelude at 11 AM) with a bare minimum of complaining. Aside from Corey, the ringers are Lisle G., Austin R., Nick P., Caroline P. (AWOL for these photos: studying, between services, no less), Kaitlyn D. and Jordan R.
