The Townsend Bell arrived on site in January 2021. We used a crane to position the bell back in the tower so that we can fix it for installation.
We fitted the bell with a new bell skid to replace the rotten wood of the old one. A new head bolt, bearings, steel wheel, and clapper were also added.
The bell rang was able to ring for service just before the holiday season. We believe that it was the first time in 2 years that the congregation has heard the bell.
