The church bells are used to 'say' "Hey, it's Sunday; come to church!". They are used to remind people of God's presence (as they fill the air with their clanging), and to attract people to the church. This is put into effect at a wedding, funeral, baptism or just a normal church service. Also bear in mind that before there were watches, the church bells would notify the town that it was midday - pretty nifty, huh? (Especially when you're working hard in the fields or in the smith and work up an appetite!)
