2007 Calvin & Chapel Ringers Handbell Tour
Germany and the Czech Republic

Hello all,

We are safe in Nuremberg, and the Ringers put on a fabulous concert for St. Jakob's Church last night. It was a travel day for the most part -- a lot of card games, sleeping, reading, and joking on the bus. We had a wonderful time in Prague. I am sure it will be a favorite for most of us. The ghost tour from the night before was interesting. The guide was very spooky and definitely set the mood. The masked ghosts who popped out from behind buildings made us laugh rather than scream, which was quite amusing for all of us.

Back the the concert yesterday...we arrived to St. Jakob's where we were all enthralled by its architecture. We set up and then were treated to a homemade Nuremberg meal of sausages and potatoes, pretzels and juice. After we ate up we got ready to go, and to our surprise the people at the church gave Charles the key to play the organ. So Charles, with no practice, played a stunning piece to open the concert, and all of the Ringers were then excited to start playing. The concert rang well and all of the Germans came up afterward to ask questions and to learn how to ring bells. :) It was a great night, ending with ice cream and devotions. Everyone is doing well, and we will fill you in on our adventures in Nuremberg today.

The Ringers send their love. I will get pictures up as soon as the attachments will go through.
