Ministries

  Northshore Chimers, born out of desperation for an activity that would meet the needs of a multi-generational population, began a chime choir with a two octave Suzuki handchime set, flowered cotton gardening gloves from the dollar store, basic music, 8 ringers, and a prayer that it might work for at least a year.   Twelve and a half years later Northshore Chimers are still praising God through song and are over 20 people strong in a church of 50 with ringers ages 12-60.  Five of the original ringers still ring with the choir.  Currently they ring on the original  set plus 5 octaves of Malmark chimes and 5 octaves of Malmark Handbells.   The chime choir has produced and solidified the bonds of community both within and without of the church both near and far.  The choir has played at the annual conference and area rallies of the Evangelical Friends Church-Mid America.  The Northshore Chimers have ministered to the needs of the community through sharing God’s love in worship, weddings, funerals, nursing home visits, home visits, a mission trip to Springfield, Colorado in 2014, and at least one annual community concert each year
