Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus (Handbells)

This the piece that my bell choir played for the prelude in worship today, the second Sunday of Advent. It is an arrangement of "Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus," which uses percussion -- drum, finger cymbals and tamborine. The choir did an awesome job with the piece. Enjoy.

Nicely done. My church's bell choir will be playing this in a few weeks.

(By the way, I see a lot of empty pews, and a lot of grey heads in the occupied pews. Looks like your congregation is facing the same problem many others are up against; an aging and dwindling membership. Don't know what the answer is to that problem...)

@bus114 Thanks! It was a really fun piece. In answer to your other inquiry, no that's not really the case. This just happened to have been recorded during our first (early) Sunday service, which has a lower attendance and is mainly attended by the older members of our congregation. We have two Sunday services and our later service usually has a much higher attendance rate and is the one which most of the younger people attend. (You are right though, it is a great concern in many churches.)

@bus114 Hey I know the answer!!!!!

You want this right:

On the next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord. - Acts 13:44

Go and read Acts 13 and see what they preached, so much so that the whole city wanted to come and hear the word of God.
