The Reverend Linda Ashby - Assistant Priest

 

Born and brought up in and around King’s Lynn, I trained and qualified as a teacher of Physical Education at Dartford College. Married to Malcolm, I have four children (three living abroad) and five grandchildren. I have been a full time Nursery teacher at Heacham Infant School since 1996 and became a Governor of North Wootton Community School last year.

It was in 1994 that I first felt called to ordained ministry. I fought it for some while but then began training in 2000. I was ordained deacon in 2003 and priest in 2004. I enjoy every minute of it even though it entails juggling family, work and church. I would like to be out and about in the parish during the week, but am unable to achieve this with my secular job. However there is a ministry to fulfil within the school amongst both parents and children, where I am able to provide a listening ear.

I feel privileged to serve the congregations of North and South Wootton. I have learnt so much from our previous incumbent and am eager to continue to learn from a new one. I am passionate about enabling people to worship and believe that both music and appropriate silence play a large part in this. I have a keen interest in mission and, together with a small group, have recently  organised a mission weekend. I believe that mission, and indeed all change in the church, needs to be under girded by prayer.
