Handbell Choirs
Our handbell choirs provide music for both worship services and special programs in the church and community. The handbell program at GCPC has been a long-standing and important part of our music ministry. In fact, we are beginning our 35th year of handbell ringing using 5 octaves of Malmark handbells and handchimes. While handbell ringing is a unique mix of techniques with aural and visual artistry – it is also a whole lot of fun!
Charter Ringers
The Charter Ringers are an ensemble for intermediate to advanced handbell ringers and play a range of exciting and challenging music. They are co-directed by Celia Nicholas and Chris Krug and rehearse on Wednesdays from 6:00-7:00pm in Room 1.
Jubilation! Ringers
The Jubilation! Ringers are an ensemble for beginning to intermediate handbell ringers and include youth and adult ringers. They rehearse on Sundays from 12:15-1:30pm in Room 1 and are directed by Kathy Bures.
Celebration! Chimes
Our 2nd-5th/6th graders participate in learning to ring handchimes. They rehearse along with Celebration! Choir at the beginning of the Sunday School hour, 10:45-11:05am in Room 15. Pam Kelly is their director.
