Minister calls for simultaneous bell ringing Christmas morning
If this doesn’t feel like the most wonderful time of the year, you are not alone.
From office parties to family gatherings to church services, the COVID-19 pandemic has made traditional, social and religious gatherings more difficult and unsafe this month.
But a Bartholomew County minister believes if we can’t physically be with friends and family on Christmas, we can symbolically come together — if only for a few minutes.
Pastor Ed Cottrell of the Hope United Methodist Church is calling on all houses of Christian worship in Bartholomew County — and beyond — to start ringing their church bells at the exact same time.
