| The Rehoboth Ringers Senior Handbell Choir
Rehoboth began forming our senior handbell choir in September of 2006. With a great deal of interest, we formed our group and began practicing with our current 2-octave set of BellPlates. We began a fundraiser to raise money to purchase a 3-octave set of handbells from Malmark, Inc. In addition to the handbells, we needed money for gloves, mallets, binders, table coverings, padding, music, etc. We set a goal of $10,000 and in less than 4 months, we reached our goal! Our handbells and some other needed items were ordered and arrived earlier than expected! Our order arrived on February 18th so we're all set to ring! We would like to thank the congregation, friends, and families for your financial support. We are so blessed to have the support of everyone here at Rehoboth. We currently have 14 ringing members and 1 director. The Rehoboth Ringers meet on Monday nights at 7pm throughout the school year (September through early June) in the sanctuary. We welcome anyone from grade 6 through adult. If you have any questions, contact Pam Zatchey. |

Handchime Fundraiser
Handchime News Update – January 2009 We met our goal!…
One of our families from the congregation has generously offered to match dollar for dollar any contributions made towards the purchase of a 3-octave set of handchimes. We only needed to raise $875 which is half of the cost of the handchimes. We are happy to report that we have met our goal and raised the $875 needed. Many thanks to all of you who donated and helped us grow our handbell/handchime choir. Our next performance of the handchimes will be on the February 1st with the piece: Ring-A-Ding-Fling. If you have any questions, please see Pam Zatchey. Handbell News April-2009
April 2009: Rehoboth Handbell News… Some members of our Rehoboth Ringers handbell choir will be participating in a Handbell Festival on April 25th. This is an event where many handbell choirs from the surrounding area get together under one director and learn more about ringing bells and have the opportunity to perform together. The concert is truly unique with more than 10 choirs participating including a solo ringer who rings 3-4 octaves of bells all by herself! Feel free to come and attend the free public concert at 5:00pm. NORTH HILLS HANDBELL ASSOCIATION Public Concert: 5:00 PM Directions to Marshall Middle School, North Allegheny School District: Coming from the North on I-79: Continue until you come to a stop sign (a T in the road). It is about a mile. Turn right on Wexford Run Road. Go up the hill until you see the sign for Marshall Middle School on the right. Marshall Middle School is on the left. The other school is an elementary school. Proceed to the far end of the building. September 2008: Rehoboth Ringers Handbell/handchime choirs will meet Monday, September 8th at 7:00pm in the sanctuary. Our initial meeting will consist of cleaning the bells and marking new music. Rehearsing will begin the following week. Practices will run from 7:00pm – 8:30pm. Note the time extension. Please be prompt and ready to play by 7pm. June 2008: We would like to thank Heike and Lisa for their dedication of time and talents these past two years. We hope you will continue to find ways to use your God-given musical talents in the future. We are going to miss you. Rehoboth’s Adult Handbell Choir is organizing for the fall term and asking the congregation if there is anyone interested in joining this music ministry. Becoming a Rehoboth Ringer is both fun and challenging. The choir is open to both youth (6th grade and up) and adults in the congregation. We practice September to May on Monday nights from 7:00 – 8:15 PM. It is not necessary to know how to read music, but you must know how to count and keep time. If you are interested in joining the handbell choir, please notify Pam Zatchey or Julie Whalen no later than August 10, 2008.Handbell Performances
Handbell Workshop
In February of 2007, our 3-octave set of hanbells from Malmark arrived. With this purchase included a one year membership to the AGEHR (American Guild of English Handbell Ringers: http://www.agehr.org/). Each newly formed handbell choir is offered a free half day workshop where one experienced ringer/director from the AGEHR will come and give the ringers further instruction on ringing handbells. Our free workshop took place on Saturday, September 8th, 2007 from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM in the fellowship hall here at Rehoboth. What a great learning experience this was with learning different handbell ringing techniques as well as a new concept for Rehoboth called "change ringing". Perhaps sometime in the near future, our handbell choir will demonstrate this new and interesting technique.
