On any given day you can hear bells coming from different directions on St. Simons Island, chiming each new hour.
I have always loved the sound of bells coming from a church or cathedral. If you are on the north end of the island you may be hearing bells from Wesley United Methodist Church.
At mid island the bells from St. Williams Catholic Church sound their lovely chimes on the hour. We sit on our deck in the evening and hear them clearly.
There is something comforting about the bells. In New England you hear bells from churches all over small towns, once used to warn of invasion and other emergencies.

At Epworth by the Sea you’ll find the George Wright Prayer Tower that sounds its chimes throughout the day.
As fall begins, the leaves start to change and thoughts of holidays to come form in my mind. Soon, we’ll hear Christmas carols wafting through the evening air.

It’s a lovely time of year, a time for family, a time for being together and a time for listening to the bells. The Muhly grass is in full bloom, casting it’s plum shadows on the marshes. Life on St. Simons is always a little slice of heaven.
