PAUMC is spearheading a new addition to our musical worship: the Park Avenue Methodist Bell Choir! Bradley Brookshire, our music director, has outlined a two-phase rollout of the Bell Choir. In Phase One, we will raise funds for purchasing the smallest usable group of bells (called a “peal”), a two-octave peal. A donor list will be posted with the names of people sponsoring individual bells, and this donor list will eventually be engraved on a plaque for display in the church. Bradley hopes to get the ball rolling (and the bells tolling!) by sponsoring the biggest bell in the Phase One set of bells in honor of his late mother.

In Phase Two, in a subsequent year, we will engage in a second round of fund-raising and purchase an additional octave of bells, giving us a three-octave peal with which to make even more glorious music. This will allow us to expand the number of bell ringers.

Below, is a listing of the prices of individual bells. Won’t you join this joyous new avenue of worship at PAUMC by indicating to Bradley your interest in being a bell ringer or by sponsoring a bell?
