HONOR OUR CHOIRS ON MUSIC SUNDAY
HELP WANTED: A person
who reads music. We need at least one bell ringer (high school or older) who can come every week to rehearsals with
performance in church about once a month. See Carolyn Blake for further information.
The Bellaires welcome new ringers and are looking
ahead to the Area II Bell Festival in Philadelphia in the summer. (note: location has been changed to Scranton).
Much gratitude to David Clark who faithfully plays the piano (volunteers) for
our 8:30 service. What a great gift to the church.

 LIFT YOUR VOICE - AND BOOST YOUR MOOD
Raising your voice in song can improve your spirits, found a recent study from Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, in Frankfurt,
Germany. People who sang for an hour in a choir felt happy, relaxed and satisfied. "Singing and well - being go hand in
hand," says study co-author Sonja Rohrmann, Ph.D., a professor of psychology. That's because singing increases your production
of secretory immunoglobulin A, a protein associated with happiness and relaxation. Its presence also bodes well for your
immunity. So next time you're down in the dumps, sing out: You don't have to sound like Faith Hill to feel like a million
bucks.
