The West Ohio Conference of The United Methodist Church has requested that all churches within the conference ring their bells 26 times at 9:30 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 21, in memory of the victims who lost their lives at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. last Friday.
This will be happening in solidarity with the churches of Connecticut, which will all be ringing their bells at that same time.
The English Chapel at ONU will be participating in this observance.
