First United Methodist Church of Downers Grove Il seeking Handbell Director

[Pattie Barnes]

Hi everyone, 

Usually I just lurk on Handbell-l.  There are so many wonderful ideas and collaborative helpful interactions. Thanks for the richness you bring to our art form!

Anyway, I am retiring from FUMC Downers Grove, Illinois, and so my position of handbell director is open as of January 1, 2025.  Are you interested?  We ring level 3-5 and have an amazing group of musicians who love our music and our bell family.

If you are interested, I will pass your information on to the staff parish committee. 

Thanks so much!

Pattie Barnes
