Leslie Fromow
Music Director
“I will sing and make music with all my soul. I will praise you, O Lord among the nations.” Psalm 108:1,3
This has been the theme of Leslie’s life. After receiving her Bachelor of Music degree, Leslie began a career of teaching piano and using her gifts for the church. She spent eighteen years playing at Barrhaven United Church and ten at Manotick United Church before coming to Knox in 2008. The blended style of music worship at Knox is one she thoroughly enjoys as it speaks to the different ages of the Knox family.
Besides directing the music worship for Sunday services, she is also responsible for the senior choir and the worship team. She finds it a real blessing to work with so many talented musicians and dedicated Christians.
Leslie is also serving as an elder at Knox.
Leslie has been married to her wonderful husband, Ian for 50 years. Together they have raised three children, and are blessed to see each of them married with a family of their own.
Leslie is very thankful to God for the opportunity of serving Him with the gifts He has given her.

Marianne Collin
Clerk of Session
Over the years, providence has smiled on Marianne Collin. She found herself in the happy state of affairs of being surrounded by men! She has been married to her husband, Ed for over 50 years. They were blessed with 3 boys, Dave, Mike and Matt, who all grew up at Knox. She is currently retired from her work which was also in a notably male-dominated environment, the Ottawa Police Service, where Marianne was the Manager of Telecommunications, the field in which she has spent her entire career.
Marianne was humbled to be chosen as the Clerk of the Knox Session in 2010 and she continues to pray for guidance and wisdom in fulfilling her duties in that role. Outside of these busy occupations, Marianne likes to read, garden and share her passion for making cards and scrapbooking. In addition, she is an enthusiastic advocate and volunteer for Basketeers, which provides baskets of household goods, to women leaving local battered women’s shelters to set up housekeeping on their own. Marianne also volunteers at a local battered women’s shelter, Harmony House. However, Marianne is likely happiest when she is spending time enjoying her 7 grandchildren who range in age from 18 months to 18 years old.
