Grace Church launches Give-A-Bell Campaign

NORTH ATTLEBORO - The Bell Choir of Grace Episcopal Church is inaugurating a Give-A-Bell Campaign as part of its ongoing effort to purchase its own set of handbells. Founded in June 2006, the group of about 14 handbell ringers, which plays at the church's regular 10 a.m. Sunday service once each month, has been working with bells leased from another church.

The Give-A-Bell Campaign will allow members of the parish to honor or memorialize loved ones by purchasing and donating one or more hand bells. A personal inscription on the bell handle will carry a message so succeeding generations will remember the donor of the bell he or she rings in every worship service. Prices start at $100 per bell.
