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.

New Nursery Director

May 1, 2025
We’re excited to welcome our new Nursery Director, Jenni Weikard , who has been part of the All Saints community since 2016. Join us in congratulating her on her new role! From Jenni: I have been a part of the All Saints community since 2016, working primarily in the nursery and supporting our youngest parishioners. Working closely with children inspired me to learn more about how to best support them, and I earned my PhD in child development (with a special focus on play behaviors!) from UAB in 2023. I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing space where children can grow through play. I am also the mother of two (soon to be three!) wonderful children: Vance (5yo) and Nora(3yo) with Baby Sister expected to join us in July. I am so excited to be stepping into this role to continue to serve in such a wonderful and welcoming community and getting the opportunity to inspire playfulness in your children.
