Music

We join together on Sunday mornings as a sort of touchstone which reorients our lives toward the sacred, through gathering, reading Scriptures, prayer, offering, breaking bread, and engaging in service to our community.

Kim Leitch

Barton Handbell Choir Director

Kim joined the Trinity Barton Handbell Choir as a member in 2006 and enjoyed the challenge of ringing in a three-octave handbell choir.

 

She took over as director from Mary Ridgley in 2010. Since taking on this role, Kim has attended numerous provincial and international handbell festivals as a member of the Ontario Guild of English Handbell Ringers (OGEHR) and now serves as Communications Director and Webmaster on their board of directors.

 

Kim attributes her directing skills to the numerous workshops she has both taken and led for OGEHR, the on-the-job directing of the eleven-member handbell choir, and the patience and guidance of Mary Ridgley, Trinity’s youth, orchestra, and former handbell director.
