Handbells
Tina Ballagh began the handbell program at this church in the 1980s.
Tina is currently the Pastor of The UMC of Rancho Cordova (as of 2014).
See today's handbells page.

Handbell choirs would routinely go "out and about" to ring for public events, at nursing homes, etc.
Thanks to Tina and Bill Ballagh for the pictures and the information.
