The First Church Handbell Ministry is an open ministry. Handbell rookie class sessions are offered as demand dictates. Ask yourself! Are you a handbell ringer "wanna be"? Have you always wanted to learn to read music? Do you read music, but you've never rung bells? Have you rung before but feel you need to dust off your skills? Are you an adult or a 9th-12th grade student willing to make a 4-week commitment to a ringing class? What do you have to lose? Absolutely nothing! There's no performance required! And you have a LOT to gain! Handbell teams are fun and provide a safe and comfortable environment for close relationships and witness through the art of handbell ringing. As you can see from the picture below, handbell friends are truly special friends!
We encourage you to plan to make handbell ministry part of your growing ministry life at First Church Round Rock. We need you . . . and your participation will make a difference in our ministry.

A Glance at the 2009 Rookie Class. . .(It Could Be You!)

The Spring 2009 Rookie class took place Monday evenings from 6:30-7:30pm in the North Suite of the Sanctuary in May/June. The First Church Handbell Ministry entry-point class is offered to all adults and youth (9th-12th grades) interested in learning more about the fun and fulfilling art of handbell ringing. Eleven rookies registered for this particular 4-week session & we had GREAT FUN! Everyone agreed that handbells are addicting! Several members of the Spring 2009 rookie class are now fulltime ringers within the First Church Handbell Ministry. We have been made stronger through their excitement & talent. That's what it's all about! We are constantly looking for new ringers of ALL AGES to join our handbell family.
