MUSIC AT HANCOCK 

Come sing the beautiful music of Christmas with choir this Christmas. There will be one rehearsal on Thursday, Dec. 18th from 7:30-9:15 in the chapel. 

All singers middle school age and older are welcome to join us. The Choir will be singing the 8:00 p.m. service on Christmas Eve, with a rehearsal at 6:45. If interested, please contact Mark Morgan at mark@hancockchurch.org or 781-862-4220 ext 212

The Morning Glory Ringers features four octaves of handbells and six octaves of handchimes! This concert time was chosen specially to accommodate senior centers, residential communities, and families that prefer a weekday time. It will feature such well-loved songs as "Silver Bells" and "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire."

The Fourteenth Annual Holiday Concert on Sunday, December 21 at 2pm, features all four handbell choirs at Hancock Church. Ringers from our youngest elementary school choir to our adult advanced Carillon choir will perform on five octaves of handbells and six octaves of hand chimes. The program will include a mix of sacred, contemporary, and traditional repertoire. Both concerts are free and offer a magical experience to jump start your holiday season!

As we reach the end of our construction project, Hancock Church will gradually need to purge a great deal of furniture! Right now there are extra tables in the Dining Room that we no longer need. They are stainless steel commercial kitchen tables. If you would like them, please take them--first come, first serve! Email Dan dos Santos if you have any questions, dan@hancockchurch.org.
