Handbell Ensembles
Hear the bells ringing, they’re singing
“Christ is risen from the dead!”
-“Easter Song”, text by Anne Herring
St. Andrew’s ensembles ring on six octaves of Malmark handbells and handchimes. Begun in 1993 with three octaves of bells, the Handbell and Handchime ministry has grown to include four ensembles for all ages and levels of ability. For more information on Handbells and Handchimes click here.
