Can Handbells Help The Homeless?

I believe they can. And so do Bill and Janell. As most of you Toledo First veterans know, they have been leading RingFest for the last 9 years providing some of the highest quality bell choir music and performances around. This year, RingFest2007 promises to be bigger and better than ever!!!

In addition to more bells and choirs and publicity through a unique partnership with Hannah’s Socks [click the graphics for more details], the 11-13 bell choirs coming and each student in the schools they represent have been invited to bring a six pack of white adult socks. These will be collected and given to six year old Hannah during the Friday evening concert who will be present [along with local media] to thank everyone for allowing our hand bells to help the homeless have warm feet and warm hearts this winter.
All our guests will be staying in the boy scout cabins at Camp Miakonda or at the Wolf Creek YMCA or at the Apostolic Church gymnasium just down the road easing the lodging burden on Toledo First members .

We are looking forward to a successful and significant RingFest 2007. Together by bringing lots of socks to RingFest 2007, we can maintain the integrity and character of the Festival while passionately showing the Toledo area—including many of "the least of these" in it—that God loves them like crazy!!!

If you want to help, start bringing adult packs of white socks to church and throwing them into the "Sock Drop" located at the back of the church from SEPT 29 until Friday OCT 26 which is the night of the concert.
