Our Handbells Need Repair
Many of our beautiful handbells are currently not working, and we need to have them repaired. If you would like to contribute to these special instruments, and the sound they lend to our services, it would be much appreciated. Donations will be most gratefully accepted by Elaine Mistele in the church office - either cash clearly marked for the handbells, or make checks payable to St Francis Church, with 'Music' in the memo line. 
Questions? contact Jeannie Cobb.
Thank you!
