The Christmastide Bell Choir is rehearsing for its annual concerts at 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 15 and Sunday, Dec. 16, at the Second Congregational Church, UCC, 205 Main St., Norway. The 14th annual Christmastide concerts include adult vocal and bell choirs, songs by the children’s choir and a performance by professional dancer Debi Irons. There will be the traditional manger tableau, as well as a visit from a “right jolly old elf.” Under the choral direction of Shirli Allen Heald, and the piano accompaniment and bell direction of Elaine Emery, the show is a way for all ages to begin the holiday season. The concert is free to the public, but tickets are required. Tickets will be available starting Tuesday, Nov. 27, at The Tribune, 430 Main St. Donation baskets will be available at the doors.
