Blessing of the Bells, Sunday May 3, at 9:00 Service … In March of this year, St. John’s received a gift of two octaves of Malmark handbells to augment the three octaves already in use for many years. The bass octave adds great depth to the sound of the ensemble while an additional octave of quiet treble bells allows the tone to soar. We are very thankful for the gifts and memorials that have allowed us to expand the realm of musical offerings at St. John’s Church. The new bells will be blessed by Father Klein at the 9:00 service, this Sunday, May 3.
