Meet Dawn Williams, Trinity's New Adult Handbell Director


Trinity’s Adult Handbell Ministry is pleased and grateful to have a new director: Welcome Dawn!
When asked to provide some background information about herself, Dawn shared, “I began playing bells in 6th grade in a church music program in Lawrence, KS. After college, marriage and a move to Jefferson City, MO, I started directing the adult choir at the Methodist church. When we moved to Kansas City, I played and directed bells at Country Club United Methodist, where Phil Szajnuk, now a TUMC choir member, directed the chancel choir. Our family moved to Denver 13 years ago, where I found a vibrant range of community choirs. I played with several, as my family schedule and their openings worked out. That is how I met Jeanne Becay, who is also a TUMC bell choir member. All that history combined with God’s hand to guide me back into directing bells.  My husband, John, and I have two children, one in college and one in high school. We live in lovely Coal Creek Canyon.”
