The concert will be led by the talented Debbie Gouge as the director, with the musical accompaniment of the wonderful Susan Heaton. Together, they create a harmonious blend that captivates the audience. Joining them will be the First United Methodist handbell choir, aptly named Small But Mighty, who will join in for the concert’s grand finale. This adds an extra layer of excitement to the event!
