February 7 - Handbell Read and Ring

First Presbyterian Church in Sun City has been chosen as one of the many locations within the United States to host a Read and Ring event this year. The Handbell Musicians of America, a nationwide membership association, started putting on this event 3 years ago. The plan is that all over the U.S., handbells will be ringing the same music at the same time. There are 5 events being hosted here in Arizona along with hundreds in other states. Handbell ringers bring their bells and chimes and their love for music, and together go through a dozen new songs for handbells just released for 2015. This is a wonderful way to hear the new music and if they decide they like it, the scores can be purchased at a discount on the day of the Read and Ring. This 3 hour event gives ringers a chance to meet other ringers and share stories and talents together. The Great Bells of Fire are very excited to be hosting this event!
