The Highlights |
Loving Our Neighbors through Music... |
The handbell ministry at FPCVegas, is open to all who desire to honor and serve the Lord through the gift of ringing in worship as well as enjoying the fellowship we share in preparation of the music. The expectations of every choir member, child or adult, are the same. The degree of talent is not important; however, the level of commitment is crucial. Once you have made a commitment to serve by becoming a bell choir member, that decision becomes a sacred covenant with God and with fellow ringers. We are dedicated to providing every resource to help make that commitment one of joy, growth and gratification. |
