North Wingfield Team







	VICAR - REVEREND LINDA LIVERSIDGE
	Born and bred in London I'm a true cockney. My parents were both 'believers' but I grew up with confusing messages about faith. My mother was Roman Catholic and my father attended any and all sorts of church as long as it wasn't RC! Fortunately I eventually discovered first the Bible, and then through it, a personal faith in Jesus. My working background is mainly in chemistry, first training with Boots as a dispensing chemist. I did a spell of dispensing the 'hard stuff' as a part-time barmaid before becoming an A-level chemistry technician. I've been very involved with church based youth work all of my Christian life. I've also done some 'detached' youth work which I trained for with Youth For Christ. I am a CYFA Venture camp leader and led on my 33rd camp this year. I trained for ordination at Oak Hill College, served my curacy in Kensal Rise (both North London) before moving to the North Wingfield Team in 2001. I often find myself wondering what an earth I'm doing in Derbyshire and frequently miss cockles and jellied eels. On the other hand the scenery is much better up here! My family are very important to me, I'm married to Alan who spends most of his time keeping our enormous garden under control and finding fun things for the men's group to do. We have 3 children, Daniel, Susan (both married) and Katie who all very musical and still, unfortunately:-( live in North London. We miss them loads and even more our four grandchildren, Thomas (6), William (4), Miles (2) and Oliver (18 months). Favourite things in my life (apart from the grandchildren) are Apple Macs and messing around with computers generally, listening to Radio 4 and especially the Archers, Alan Bennett and poetry. U2's not bad either! Working with teenagers, and especially sharing the gospel with them, is still something I really love doing. BACK
