Handbells

Calvary Carillons (Adult Handbell Choir)

Mondays 7:15 - 8:30pm
Join the Calvary Carillons, our adult handbell choir, and experience the joy of making music together! This group is perfect for those who enjoy collaborative music-making and want to be part of a vibrant community. We meet weekly to rehearse, learn new handbell techniques, and prepare for performances during worship services throughout the year. If you can read music, you can ring handbells. No prior experience needed—patient training is provided. As a member, you'll have the opportunity to perform during worship on the second Sunday of each month. It's a fantastic way to share your musical talent with the community. Whether you’re an experienced ringer or new to handbells, you’ll find a welcoming and supportive environment.

Key Highlights:

  • Adult handbell choir with a welcoming atmosphere

  • Weekly rehearsals with seasonal performances

  • Open to all experience levels
