Bruen Chapel United Methodist Church

HANDBELL RINGERS WANTED!

Ruth — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 14:06:05 +0000

We have begun a new handbell group at Bruen Chapel UMC and are looking for more members.

We have plenty of handbells (4 octaves!); so anyone who would like to join is most welcome.

This is an especially good opportunity for people who have sung in choirs, or played in bands or ensembles in the past, and would like to put the old music reading skills to use. We can help you learn to read your handbell part if you really want to play, but have not done anything in the music line before.

We want to have fun making music together, while also preparing pieces to share in worship.

Practice is after 11 am worship or shortly after noon on most Sundays. Come to worship, grab a snack, stay to ring. Maybe eventually, we’ll morph into a “Ring and Sing” group.

Call 703 560 1665 or email bruenchapelsecretary@yahoo.com and leave a message if interested; we’ll get back to you.

UMC in Ministry in over 125 Countries

Ruth — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 18:57:30 +0000

Did you know? The United Methodist Church is in mission and ministry in over 125 countries. Our ministries include churches in all kinds of neighborhoods and communities in the United States, as well as in Central and South America, Africa, Asia, and Europe. We also support community centers, environmental projects, hospitals, schools, and colleges, as well as a major disaster relief organization called UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief). United Methodists in churches around the world provide basic support for their ministry and mission endeavors through a “World Service Apportionment”. This benevolence has been called “the primary mission responsibility” of every United Methodist Church.
