The Sound of Harmony



* Handbell Choir at Gardner

Pastor Joyce Kang

12.21.24. Church Conference

 Last Sunday, the beautiful sound of bells filled the Gardner Nursing Home. It seemed impossible three months ago because we didnโ€™t have enough people. Yet, seven dedicated individuals, including conductor Mary Miller, gathered for an hour every Thursday to pray and practice.

A bell choir is an instrument of teamworkโ€”waiting, teaching, and supporting one another. If one person makes a mistake, it affects the whole harmony. From the 4th grade of elementary school to the โ€œ7th grade of lifeโ€ (over 70 years old), we became friends and companions, encouraging each other. I took over the seven bells at Bass Cliffs that Lydia played last year. Initially, it felt overwhelming; I was used to ringing only three bells. However I focused on what was essential in each song and played only what I could manage.

Sometimes I hit the bells too quickly, and sometimes I missed entire measures. Yet, gradually, I learned. As the bells rang in the quiet chapel, I felt the presence of more than just seven people. The Holy Spirit filled each note, and I sensed our love and friendship woven into the harmony. At the nursing home, when people sang carols with us, I experienced God filling every mistake and empty space with their voices.

In July 2014, when my husband was appointed to Houlton and Hodgdon, we arrived with no family, friends, or fellow Koreans. I worried whether we could truly make a home here. The first three to four years of ministry were incredibly hard. But when we became family with our church members, we were happy.

When I joined Mars Hill two years ago, I wondered how we could manage these ministries. But God provided a small group who could ring the bellsโ€”people who carried many ministries, sometimes โ€œringing seven bellsโ€ themselves. Together, the three churches (Houlton, Hodgdon, and Mars Hill) worked in harmony. We shared bulletins, worshipped together in joint services, supported one anotherโ€™s events, and served our communities.

Children who missed Sunday services for sports came to Together Tuesdays, where they volunteered and worshipped. Backpacks for Kids reached four schools, delivered by adults, while Senior Supper cardsโ€”handmade by childrenโ€”touched lives throughout the community. Volunteers in after-school programs became mentors and friends to the children.

This year brought challenges: the pain of denominational division, the loss of loved ones, and aging key leaders who could no longer serve as they wished. Yet, a few faithful members stayed steadfast, โ€œringing the bell,โ€ and their harmony inspired others to sing. I was especially moved during Mars Hillโ€™s handbell choir performance last Saturday and the Christmas party where so many prayed together. Seeing 10 children participate in Pageant Sunday at Hodgdon and serving Together Tuesdays with 11 volunteers at Houlton has been a profound blessing.

At the nursing home service, I felt the powerful presence of the Holy Spirit. New choir members joined afterward, and I am so thankful. Now, I donโ€™t have to frantically ring seven bells; I can focus on just three.

In many ways, this ministry has been like my lifeโ€”balancing the full-time calling of serving three churches while raising five children. Sometimes I missed messages, struggled with priorities, and felt overwhelmed. I cried often, feeling unworthy of my role and worried I wasnโ€™t serving the church as I should.

But now, like a tiny life growing in the womb, I am shifting my focus. From July next year, I will center my ministry at Mars Hill while my husband focuses on Houlton and Hodgdon. These next six months feel like a pregnancyโ€”time to nurture, grow, and prepare. Just as Jesus came to earth as a tiny dot and grew to become the Savior of the world, I pray that our churches will grow spiritually, emotionally, and physically.

I pray we will thrive, not just survive. I pray we will become the church our communities need. I pray the Han family will live up to the calling that brought us here.

As I think of the bell choir, I see a picture of the Kingdom of Godโ€”each note coming together in perfect harmony, allowing the whole town to sing along. May we continue to ring our bells, join our voices, and bring glory to God through love, unity, and service.
