Ringing to Remember

This past Tuesday (Jan. 19), there was a National Moment of Unity & Remembrance to remember and honor the lives lost to Covid-19. Towns across the country joined in illuminating buildings and ringing church bells, culminating in a lighting ceremony at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool at 5:30. Our church was honored for some of its handbell ringers to stand outside and participate in the nation-wide moment of remembering, as we rung out with both grief and hope. They rang for 4 minutes—one minute for every hundred thousand American lives lost at that point. (You can watch a brief clip of the ringing HERE.)
