Union Ringers
Union Ringers has proudly established itself as one of the premier handbell choirs on the South Shore.
In addition to sharing in worship services throughout the year, Union Ringers has also had the opportunity to perform at local venues, including Edaville Railroad, the Rockland Stroll, and the Braintree Choral Society, as well as at various other churches and retirement communities in the region.
Each performance is a testament to the dedication of our musicians and their passion for uplifting the community through the beautiful sound of handbells
Each year, the community comes together to enjoy two lively and engaging concerts, and this year’s eagerly anticipated Christmas celebration, titled the “Jingle Bell Jubilee,” is set to take place in December 15th, 2024. This festive event promises to be a highlight of the season.
Looking ahead, this spring, attendees will also have the pleasure of participating in “On the Road to Ireland,” a vibrant Celtic concert designed to celebrate the spirit of Saint Patrick’s Day, which is scheduled for March 16th, 2025.
Vanessa Young, our talented Director of Bells, diligently organizes and leads Union Bell’s practices on Sundays.
The talented Union Ringers enjoy playing a diverse range of music, spanning from classic church melodies to lively Disney tunes - and can we just say, our favorite pieces so far? ….They've definitely got to be the exhilarating "Carol of the Bells" AND the iconic theme from "Pirates of the Caribbean!"
This group is such a musical joy and if you'd like to join in the fun, or book Union Ringers to perform, please email Bell Director, Vanessa Young
Never rung a bell before? Not to worry at all - absolutely none of us had prior experience until we took that first step to start.
We offer a variety of exciting opportunities for individuals to actively participate in the beautiful art of handbell ringing. If you're interested in learning more about how you can get involved, please visit our Music Ministry for additional information and details. We would love to have you join us!
It all began when a member of the Union Ringers found a small bright yellow plastic duck in the church parking…This charming little duck quickly became an integral part of our rehearsal routine, adding an element of fun and laughter each week.
If you were stressed out about learning a new part? You got the duck on your music stand!
Made a mistake during a piece? You got the duck, and there it stayed until the next person “earned” it!
Before long, it became our symbol of love, laughter, grace, faith and joy -and it’s been a part of Union Ringers ever since.
The duck even traveled with us to Washington DC!
So, be sure to look for a few ducks whenever we perform, and may it continue to remind us all that God’s joy and amazing grace abound when we share our gifts of music in His name!
What’s with all the ducks?…
