A musical celebration during Holy Week

Posted

Have you heard the chimes this week? Ruth Spayde, organist at Linn Memorial United Methodist Church in Fayette has been playing the chimes, which sound through the church’s majestic bell tower, each day at noon.

She began playing hymns on Palm Sunday and will continue throughout this week until Easter Sunday.

“We don’t know how far the sound will carry but hope many in the community will enjoy stepping outside during this time to listen to hymns appropriate to the season,” Spayde said. “From the response I got from yesterday they were widely heard across town.”

After Holy Week, she will continue playing the chimes each Sunday at noon until regular Sunday church services are allowed to resume.
