Description

Handbells are not just for children and teens!  We have adult handbell groups for beginner to advanced ringers.  The difficulty level of handbell music is rated from Level 1 (easy) to Level 6 (most difficult).  Each of the groups rings 6-8 times in worship between September and June and participates in the annual Christmas handbell concert.  The groups also like to participate in the various festivals that are held by the regional handbell guild (Handbell Musicians of America – Area 3). Our rehearsals are full of laughing and ringing (sometimes more laughing than ringing!)  You do not have to know how to read music to learn how to ring handbells!  Come and try us out and laugh a little (or a lot…)

Carillon Ringers group is for ringers who ring Level 2 and Level 3 music.

The Pender Carillon Ringers, directed by Brian Stevenson played Journey" composed by Kyle Webber.

From the publisher: “This original work by Kyle Webber does just what it says, as it takes us on a musical journey! The lively first section reflects the excitement of the journey’s start, the middle section portrays the wonder of experiencing a new place, and the final section is a fun return home.”

This was the Prelude during the Traditional Service on Sunday November 13, 2022.
