From Chimes to Bells

Mountain View Lutheran Church recently received and dedicated a set of handbells to enhance worship.  To understand the difference between these instruments, view this video:

A set of hand chimes were purchased about three years ago and a dozen volunteers signed up to learn and play the instruments.  Since then, the volunteer musicians dreamed that someday more expensive handbells would replace the chimes.  A local handbell expert, Doug Benton, loaned his set of bells so that a fund might be started to encourage donations.  Rather unexpectedly, a donor came forward and offered to fully fund the purchase. Thirty-seven bells, comprising 3 octaves, were ordered on January 1, 2020.  They were formally dedicated on Sunday, February 9, 2020.
