One of America’s premier youth handbell choirs, THE BELLS OF CHRIST CHURCH, hails from historic Christ Church Anglican (1733) in the Historic District of Savannah, Georgia. This exceptional auditioned bell choir will be performing their summer tour concert at Hyde Park UMC (1345 Grace Avenue, Cincinnati) at 7:00p.m. Friday, June 9.

Ringing on 15 octaves of handbells and chimes, the group has performed in Washington D.C., Colonial Williamsburg, by invitation at the international music festival Spoleto in Charleston and throughout the eastern and southern United States. The auditioned 12-member bell choir, now in its 25th year, is made up of College and High School students who have produced three professional recordings to date.

Their 1.5-hour-long concert includes some of the finest bell repertoire in the genre and includes a history of bells and handbells and a hands-on traveling bell museum. We guarantee that the program will be joyous and entertaining for the entire family.

Cincinnati is celebrating its 50th Pride Parade on Saturday, June 24th and our church will be part of it! Show your support for our LGBTQ+ siblings by being in the family friendly parade representing Hyde Park Community UMC or by coming out and watching the parade and/or going to the Festival at Sawyer’s Point.

The purpose of Cincinnati Pride is to provide the Greater Cincinnati LGBTQIA+ community and allies a forum that promotes inclusion and acceptance while affirming individuality. Being part of Cincinnati Pride offers us a chance to break down barriers of judgment and exclusion, strengthen our community and celebrate the inclusive love of Christ. As a church, it’s an opportunity for us to stand with our LGBTQIA+ siblings and strive to be a safer space where all people can belong!

Another way you can support the outreach event is by donating fun size Skittles and Rice Krispie Treats that the group will pass out during the parade! A collection bin will be in the Social Hall.

To learn more about the parade and to sign up to participate, please follow the QR code or get signed up in the Welcome Center!
