Bells have been used in religious ceremonies for thousands of years; in Christian worship, they have rung people to prayer for centuries.  Here at SPC the Ringspiration Bell Choir is composed of 11 men and women who ring 4 octaves of Schulmerich handbells.  Our ringers meet from September through May, rehearsing weekly from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and play at both 9:30 and 11:00 a.m. Sunday services approximately once a month.

Ringspiration plays a wide range of music including pieces based on old familiar hymn tunes, pieces arranged from contemporary praise songs, and music which is not based on a pre-existing tune.  The group has gone to bell festivals and on May 15 will host a local bell workshop where six local church bell choirs will come ring for each other and ring an ensemble piece.
