 Sue Schroer The Children’s Chime Choir made it’s first appearance at CTL in 2001 and has been delighting the congregation by playing for services 4 times a year since then. They also perform during the annual Christmas Pageant, which is usually the 2nd Sunday in December. The Chime Choir is a wonderful way for Children, with or without music experience, to learn about music, have fun and learn about working together to praise God through music. “Make a Joyful Noise”.
Sue Schroer has been a member of Christ the Lord since she married her husband Fred, and moved to Georgia in 2000. In 2001, our Music Director, Laura Bryant, asked Sue to start a Children’s Chime Choir. The 2010 - 2011 school year will be the 10th year our congregation has enjoyed the performances of our children.

The CTL Rhythm Section Handbell choir is a beginning level handbell choir with no previous music experience necessary. Your interest in learning to ring handbells and read music is your ticket to join. We begin in the Fall with the basics, and build on them through the year, demonstrating our progress at several church services and a Christmas program performance. Youth, men and women are all invited to learn together in an easy-going, friendly setting.
 Ruth Olson, husband Lee Olson, and children Eric and Sally have been members of CTL for so long she does not remember. Ruth spends her days working as a horticulturist in Buckhead, and most nights in one Music Ministry rehearsal or another. Ruth learned to ring handbells at their previous Lutheran church in Naperville, IL and happened to make the comment to the Director of Music Ministry Laura Bryant that she missed that aspect of her church experience here at CTL. Well, what do you know but a few months later a set of handbells appeared at church, and the rest is history. Ruth enjoys sharing the gift of music with any and all who are interested.

The Grace Notes Handbell Choir is now in their 10th year at CTL, and has 14 positions for experienced ringers. We play a variety of music for church services, our annual Music Ministry Advent Concert, and other special events.
 Ruthie Ruthie is a wife, mother and life-long Lutheran. She and her family joined Christ The Lord in the Fall of 2011. She began playing hand bells at the age of 10 and was an enthusiastic ringer for 27 years until failing eyesight made performing difficult. When she and her family began attending CTL, she discovered there was a need for a hand bell director. Having directed the hand bell choir at her pervious church and wanting to get back into music, Ruthie jumped at the opportunity. She strives to continue to select music for the Grace Notes that will showcase the talents of the ringers and, of course, make a joyful noise unto the Lord.
