Let Joy Ring
Written By: Wiley Sloan | Issue: 2016/12 - December
You’ll know that Christmas is just around the corner when you listen to the holiday concert by The Mountain Top Ringers, Highlands United Methodist Church’s handbell choir.
The Mountain Top Ringers will present “Ring Christmas Bells” at 10:50 A.M. Sunday, December 11. This will include a selection of sacred Advent/Christmas songs from the concert repertoire. They will perform their entire concert on Wednesday night, December 14 at 6:00 P.M. Come for supper at 5:15 P.M. and the concert will follow.
In addition to familiar Christmas carols and Advent themes, the ringers will play a selection of Christmas pops during this concert, including “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” “Santa Claus is Coming to Town,” and “White Christmas.” You’ll be tapping your toes as the ringers break into “God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen” and “The Chipmunk Song.” They will also play favorite Advent/Christmas carols, including “Silent Night,” “O Come, O Come, Emanuel,” and “O Holy Night.” The concert closes with Handel’s magnificent “Hallelujah Chorus.” This talented group of ringers under the direction of Les Scott makes the music come alive.
The church is located at 315 Main Street. For more information, call the church office weekdays from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. at (828)-526-3376; or visit highlandsmethodist.org.
