Staff Transition

In case you didn't know, Tara Portney is departing her role as Parish Coordinator for an exciting new chapter in her life. She will be returning to her hometown of Scottsboro, AL to take the helm of her family’s business Nicholas Financial Services. Tara has been a dedicated part of our staff throughout significant transition these past four and half years. As anyone who has encountered Tara knows, she cares deeply for this community. She will be missed tremendously! You can read a message from her HERE.

All Saints is proud to announce that Summer Stough will be joining our staff as our new Parish Coordinator, starting late July. Summer spent two decades as Parish Administrator at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church and most recently was Head of School for The Tree House Episcopal Montessori School in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. Summer told us she was drawn to All Saints because of its vibrant community and vision of Embodying Christ’s Transforming Love. As a lifelong Episcopalian, Summer is eager to support the parish's mission and growth.

Tara's last day on staff is June 14, but she will be helping with bulletins remotely until Summer joins us, which will be Monday, July 22nd. Until then, we are happy to welcome Elena Moreno to our staff! She will be handling many of the day-to-day Parish Coordinator duties. If you get a moment, stop by and say hey to her.

We Love Our Children's Pew Art!

February 11, 2026

Maybe you have seen a 'Children’s Pew Art' sheet in your pew? These are meant to be a simple way to invite our young friends to draw what they see in church, picture something they hear in the Bible reading, write a letter to God, ask a question, or create a prayer. We share in nurturing their spiritual lives, just as we promise at baptism. They learn by watching and listening. They absorb what is going on around them. So enjoy watching your child draw on them. You can take yours home to reflect on during the week, or let it stay for someone else to find. We truly love discovering these colorful reflections of faith all over the church!
