.. Bells will ring for the debut performance of the Warren County Community Bell Choir. This choir is the creation of two directors- who actually met through the Christmas in Warren County concerts- Brian Matthews ,Director of Chapel Bell, Lebanon United Methodist
Church Bell Choir and Gerry Profitt, Director of Jubellation!, Heritage Baptist Church Bell Choir. These two
directors bring a wealth of talent to the concert. Brian has rung bells since a youth and since 1989 has been the
bell choir director at LUMC. Brian's mom is a ringer and his dad has assisted in setting up- so it is a family
event with the Matthews family.
As I can only post 1 photo per blog I am going to post today a photo of the Chapel Bells, bell choir.
This will be exciting as this year year bell choir will perform separately and then together- with
both directors taking a turn at directing the group. According to the American Guild of English Handbell
Ringers ,Vicki Iverson- by phone - she told me that currently they DO NOT have a group of ringers this
size registered. There may be a larger one out there but this is something big for Southwestern Ohio and
definitely the largest bell choir in the area.
