ORANGE — The sound of bells will fill Orange Congregational Church at a concert later this month.

The Shoreline Ringers, a community handbell ensemble, will perform their latest concert program, “Swing Into Spring,” consisting of a variety of pop favorites, jazz tunes, original handbell compositions and classical transcriptions, according to a release.
