HISTORY
Liberty Bells was started in September 2014 with JoAn White, Pastor Dick White's wife, as director. Four of the ten "ringers" had not played bells before so there was a learning curve. The first performance was in November 2014 during the worship service at Liberty UMC. JoAn made arrangements for Liberty Bells to lease (borrow) "Bells" from the Madisonville UMC.
Caroline Hicks is now the director and there are several performances each year.
New volunteer "ringers" are needed. Musical experience is not required, just a desire to make a joyful noise as we worship our Lord.
