On the Common Ringers have been busy rehearsing and performing for worship services over the past months! Thank you to all involved. A special thank you to Rick Stelle and Matt Boday for narrating our Ring-a-Story: The Resurrection and the Book. It was fun!

I will be organizing a handbell workshop this month! Why not come with us to try it out?

The annual RI “Ring-a-Palooza” will be held at Dunn’s Corners Community Church in Westerly, RI on April 25, 2026 from 9:30am-2:30pm (we can carpool). No matter your age or experience level, this event will let you “sample” a handbell workshop. We will participate in fun musical activities and ringing which will all be led by Jane Nolan, retired Music Director of Shoreline Ringers. All levels are welcome. There is no music to learn ahead of time, and there will be no public performance at the conclusion of the day. We will have fun, all while ringing and learning! $15 per participant. Let me know if you’re interested.

New ringing members are always welcome in the handbell choir. You do not need to read music or know how to ring a bell. We will teach you! Most of our members started from scratch. We rehearse Thursday evenings from 6:30-7:30pm, right before Senior Choir rehearsal. Join us!
