Handbells

Clarkston United Methodist Church enjoys the beautiful music of three choirs ringing English handbells .  A handbell choir is a group of people each of whom are  responsible for a small number of bells corresponding to notes on the piano keyboard.  The group works as a team to play the bells at the right time and in a musical way to produce a wonderful offering to God.  We hope our music inspires praise for God in the hearts of the congregation listening.  Our handbell choirs are directed by Mrs. Angie Scheu.  

If you have any questions for her you may call (248) 625-1611 ext. 251, email her at  ascheu@clarkstonumc.org or leave her a note in the church office.
