Bell Choir

The kids participated in the bell choir at Grummy and Pop Pop's church on Long Beach Island on Christmas Eve.  They played to "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear."  The music director would hold up a card with color squares on it and when the player saw the color that matched his or her bell, it was time to ring it.






After the bells, the children in the congregation were called up to help decorate the Christmas tree with ornaments:



And after the service, we stuck around to take a few pictures and chat:




We tried to get a picture of Clare with the 91-year-old organist, but Clare was not happy about that so we didn't get to take it this time.  Ah well.  We all went back to Grummy and Pop Pop's house after the service to enjoy some more Christmas Eve festivities.
