Guest Handbell Ringer for 8/17/2014 service

Lynnelle Bilsey will be the guest handbell ringer for the August 17th 2014 service. 

Here is her biography:

Lynnelle was first introduced to the art of bell ringing when she and her family moved from Minnesota to California.  She fell in love with the art form instantly and has led choirs, seminars, master-classes, mass rings and tours ever since.  She is an accomplished solo and ensemble ringer and given solo appearances at regional, national AGEHR conventions and the 1st. International Handbell Symposium. 

She and several of the choirs she has directed have attended the local Spring Ring festivals, participated in two Mass rings (over 65 ringers at each) which Lynnelle directed and most recently performed for the Mission Hospice ‘Annual Service of Remembering’ in December, 2006.    In addition, Lynnelle helped create the UMC Golden Gate Conference Mass Ring Festival directing the first two festivals.  She was also accepted as a ringer for the National UMC Handbell Choir for the 2005 Conference.

During the daytime, Lynnelle is the Senior Volunteer Manager for Invasion Shelter Network.
