Haddonfield Presbyterian Church To Ring Bells For 9/11 Victims

HADDONFIELD, NJ — First Presbyterian Church Haddonfield ring the tower bells again this year in memory of those who died in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center, church officials announced.

Church officials said they will do it to keep with tradition. The event, which runs from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Sept. 11, will look a little different due to restrictions surrounding the coronavirus.

One person will be in the bell tower to ring the large bell at the times when the planes hit the Twin Towers, and when the planes crashed in Pennsylvania and at the Pentagon.

Following the first ring, volunteers on the front lawn of the church will begin to read the names of the fallen, and other volunteers will ring one or more large handbells.

The community at large is invited to participate and sign up here. All ages are welcome.
