The GSLC Ringers handbell choir performs once a month on Sundays during our 9am worship service.
People of all ages and skill levels are welcome to participate. You do not need to be a member of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church to participate. All are welcome!
Please fill out this form: gslc.breezechms.com/form/0eaf1950 and attend any Wednesday night rehearsal from 6-6:45pm to learn more and receive a bell assignment.
Rehearsal commitment is flexible! You may participate in between 1 to 4 Wednesday night rehearsals a month between August 27-October 26.
Ringing is a great cardio workout!
Contact handbell director Leon Harrell at leon@gslc-cu.org for questions.
This Sunday, August 10, at Good Shepherd: Jesus gives his followers some words of instruction and encouragement. In this kind of bullet point list, can we hear words for us today? Worship begins at 9 AM and will include a special bell solo(!), communion, and a blessing for everyone heading back to school. #elca #champaignurbana #savoyillinois
Our weekly prayers include: “Revitalize and protect the treasures of wild places. Teach all people to value the earth, winds, waters, trees, and animals, the gifts that make life possible on this planet. God of grace, hear our prayer.” #champaignurbana #savoyillinois #ELCA

This Sunday, August 3, join us for worship at 9 AM in the Fellowship Hall (opposite end of the building from the sanctuary). We'll gather around tables to sing and pray, discuss and share (as you wish), eat and commune. There will be hands-on things for kids and for creative folks, including spaces in the back for folks who'd like a little less stimulation or interaction. You are welcome at God's Open Table! #elca #champaignurbana #savoyillinois
