Grace Notes Bell Choir

Under the direction of Susan Campbell, Payson United Methodist Church offers a bell choir, the Grace Notes, with more than three octaves of bells, chimes, and percussion instruments. The choir adds to the celebration of worship in both our informal and traditional services, playing contemporary and traditional songs. Persons of all skill levels are invited to participate in the bell choir and learn this musical instrument. English hand bells were created so the bell ringers in different churches could practice their songs before Sunday morning so the churches could call people to worship with one song. The bells became so beloved by the congregations that they became a part of worship.
