Angel Bells, Alice Savory — bells@heritagepres.com
Our Angel Bell choir is under the direction of Alice Savory. Alice played hand bells for 17 years at a previous church, 14 of those years as director. She has played bells at HPC since 2019 and was a substitute pianist and organist at numerous churches during her husband’s Air Force career. She finds great joy from helping bell ringers reach their full potential as a unified instrument for enhancing the worship experience. We are excited to have Alice as our director.
Angel Bells rehearse on Thursday evenings from 6:30 to 7:30 (rehearsal returns in August!) and play during the service one week each month. If you are interested in joining, please contact Alice at bells@heritagepres.com or Denise Engelhardt at pianist@heritagepres.com.
In Psalms 100, we are encouraged “to make a joyful noise unto the Lord … and to come before his presence with singing.”
If you love to sing or play an instrument, we have a place for you!
