Removing the Bells

On May 21-23 , 2009 a rare set of nine chime bells was removed from the steeple of our congregation, Channing Memorial Church in Newport, RI. As part of the steeple restoration project the bells are being sent overseas to be re-tuned. Over the Summer and Fall the Channing Church steeple will be taken down stone by stone and then rebuilt. When the steeple has been restored the bells will ring for the first time in years.
