juBELLation

juBELLation is our premier youth handbell choir for sixth through twelvth grade. Also directed by Karin McDonough, juBELLation rehearses Thursday evening at 7:30 pm. They play several times during the year for Sunday worship services and also for other area handbell events. Handbell experience is necessary.

Bell Choir News

Both FUMC handbell choirs participated in conferences of the Handbell Musicians of America in late June, taking classes, ringing with massed bell choirs, and hearing concert performances.

The Sanctuary Bell Choir attended the Area 10 (Northwest) Conference at the Tacoma Convention Center, and juBELLation traveled to California for the Area 12 (Southwest) Conference at the Disneyland Hotel.

For the Disneyland event, Sanctuary Bells director, Nancy Hascall, served as one of three conductors for the massed ringing, each of whom was also commissioned to write an original work for the final concert.
