Ashland's Bell Choir, the Bell Tones, provides music monthly at the traditional worship services as well as playing for other special choral anthems which require handbells. The Bell Tones also host two handbell concerts for area nursing homes, one in the springtime and the other at Christmas, as well as playing for weddings and special events. The music staff is always looking for an opportunity to start an additional choir for beginning and intermediate ringers if and when the need arises, as well as creating a children's handbell choir.
