Linda Ashby is currently our Office Administrator. She came to the church after retiring from the Provincial Government after 27 years in Finance and Administration. Linda was attending the church in the early 2000's and experienced Greg's first term with St. Andrew's and she is happy to be working with him again.
It's been challenging to step into this position after her predecessor, who had been doing the job for over 17 years. There's a lot to understand to manage the many Administrative responsibilities involved in the day-to-day church operations.
