Great fellowship and music making that glorifies Christ Our Lord are the primary goals of First Baptist's adult Handbell choir, Bronze Praise.

 

We meet weekly on Mondays at 7 pm for an hour of rehearsal time in the 2nd floor bell choir room (233C), and we lead in worship approximately 6 to 8 times each year.  Our choir attends at least one regional handbell festival a year in order to improve our skills and to enjoy worship time together with handbell choirs from around the state of Georgia.  

 

Participation in Bronze Praise is open to experienced ringers. Ability to read music is prerequisite. If you cannot ring on a regular basis we welcome your commitment to serve on our substitute ringer list.
