Heyo! I've put a column on the spreadsheet for the Lanterns and Luminaries ringing event at Old North. It will be 15-20 minutes of righting on Thursday April 11th. If you want to attend the reception, you can do that, or honestly you can just sneak up to the belfry. We should get a list of names of ringers. to send them, so it would be great if people can fill out availability for this sooner rather than later!

Hi there!

The annual Lantern event will be held on Thursday, April 11 (same timeline as always: program starts at 7 and ends, we hope, at 8).  We are hoping that the bellringers will be able to participate as they have done in the past!  

Here's an tentative plan:
  • Could the bellringers arrive in time to ring up the bells at approximately 6:20?  There are spoken elements to the sponsor reception so bells need to be in place no later than 6:30.
  • Bellringers will check in at registration table in church narthex (foyer).  We will need their names for the registration list and pew assignment 
  • For ease of movement, it's probably best if the bellringers exit pews right before the recessional (otherwise you might be trapped by traffic). 
  • Bellringers will then ring for 15-20 minutes after the recessional.  We will flick the lights when it is time.
  • You are warmly invited to the post-event reception--we are leaning into a nautically-themed celebration!
