Peanut Ringers Director Sarah Hallberg was born and raised in Rockford and is a lifelong member of Second Congregational Church (now Second First). Growing up, she sang in the Crusader choir and played with the Whitechapel Ringers and Mini Ringers before graduating to the Martin Ringers while in high school. Sarah began working with the Peanut Ringers in 2002 and has worked to incorporate musical notes and symbols into a color-coded system to help the children learn basic music notation while having fun. She finds it extremely gratifying to see the Peanuts “graduate” to become Angelus Ringers. Sarah takes great pride in her three boys, Justin, Hayden, and Conner, who have grown up ringing bells, just like their mom, who still enjoys ringing in the Martins.
