We have practice this week and next week, on Wednesday, as usual. Then we have a joint practice with the adults on Saturday, May 21 at 9:00 a.m. On Sunday, May 22 we will be playing at both services, in front of church. The adults are also playing for the Monday night service, May 23. Some of our group expressed a desire to do this also. Please let me know if you are NOT able to play on Monday.

After that, hand bells will be done for this year. We say good bye to our 8th graders: Patrick, Leah,
Sapphire, and our substitute, Jamie. Thank you for all your hard work. May God bless you all as you move into high school.

April 27

Practice resumes April 27 and will continue every week until we play in church on Sunday, May 22 with the adults. We will play in both services, so plan to stay. We also will have a practice on Saturday, May 21 with the adults, probably at 9 a.m.

See you next week!

Wednesday, April 6

This is a reminder that we DO have practice this week Wednesday at 5:00, as usual. Then we play at the 7:00 service. We will need to put the bells away after that.

Practice resumes this week!

See you this Wednesday, March 16, at 5:00!

Schedule

This is a reminder of what we are doing for the next few weeks. I told all the ringers who were there tonight, but I am also posting it here so parents know.

There is no practice for the next two weeks, March 2 and 9.

Then there IS practice for two weeks, March 16 and 23. Then we have one more week off because of spring break at St. Jacobi. (No practice March 30)

On April 6 we DO have practice, and we also play for the 7:00 service. I will let you know what happens after that. Our final time to play in church will be May 22, and that will be a big day for us. Not only will we be playing in front of church, taking turns with the adults, but we will be playing for both services on Sunday. Be sure to mark your calendars for that special day.

Well done!

You did a great job praising our Lord in church this morning. Thank you for using your God-given talents in this way.

See you Wednesday!

We play on Sunday!

We will be playing two pieces on Sunday at the 8:15 service. One of them will be during the offering. The other will be just before the bell at the start of the service. Therefore:

1. It is important that everyone be in the balcony at 7:45 am to help set up the bells. This will give us a few minutes of warm up time before the organist needs to begin playing pre-service music.
2. Anyone who arrives later than 7:55 a.m. will not be allowed to play in the church service because we will already have found a replacement.
3. All ringers will be expected to stay after church for a few minutes to help put everything away.
4. Remember that everything we do should be done to the glory of God.

See you all on Sunday at 7:45 sharp!
