Hope offers many opportunities to experience the joy of God’s love through God’s great gift of music. We experience the joy of Jesus Christ through the singing and playing of good music and the Holy Spirit reaches others and spreads God’s love as we express our faith through sharing our gifts of music. Start the new year off with a song in your heart—join a choir! Rehearsals will begin the week of January 9. Please contact Lori Bitz, Minister of Music, lbitz@hopetoledo.net, 419-536-8383 if you have any questions.

| | Hand bells add brilliance to a worship service like no other instruments can. This is a challenging and fun way to express your faith in God. The ability to read music is helpful but not necessary. Those of us who read music will help those who don’t as we learn to work and “play” together. We invite everyone (high school age and up) who loves music to give the Hand Bell choir a try. The Hand Bell Choir helps in leading worship at the 11:00 am service approximately once every five weeks. Rehearsals are held on Wednesday evenings from 8:05 pm to 9:00 pm in the balcony. Rehearsals:
