Bucknell's Rooke Chapel Ringers to share cheer in Hackensack

Members of Bucknell University's Rooke Chapel Ringers will perform concerts in the hometowns of the group's senior members in January. Since the tradition began in 1983, the Ringers have visited many towns in the Northeast and across the country from Denver to Portland. 

"The concerts are always enthusiastically received, particularly because parents and family members rally to publicize the event," said William Payn, director of the group. "Most often there is a reception following the concert to meet those who attend, including Bucknell alumni and prospective students."

Concerts have been set for:

  • Wednesday, Jan. 8, at 7:30 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church of West Chester, in West Chester, Pa., hometown of member Kathryn Lebold
  • Thursday, Jan. 9, at 7:30 p.m. at Second Reformed Church of Hackensack, in Hackensack, N.J., hometown of member Michelle Hickey
  • Friday, Jan. 10, at 7:30 p.m. at Brookside Community Church, in Brookside, N.J., hometown of Melissa Replogle
  • Saturday, Jan. 11, at 7:30 p.m. in Morristown United Methodist Church in Morristown, N.J. 
The Handbell Ringers will perform a selection of traditional, classic and original works, including several by Payn as well as arrangements by Kevin McChesney and Fred Gramann.

A free will offering will be collected.
