Bell Choir

The bell choir meets for rehearsal on Thursday evenings from 6:45 - 7:45 upstairs behind the choir room.

You may be interested to know that GPUMC has had an English handbell choir since 1974, starting with the youth, but later mostly with adults.  In 1975 the youth of the church went on the first Heritage Tour to England, taking a choir, a drama troupe, and the handbell choir to lead worship for churches which hosted them throughout a four week tour of much of the country.
In 1976 GPUMC took these groups to Washington, DC and Philadelphia on a second tour, which included a concert from a newly-dedicated balcony in the National Cathedral.
