Tara Leaving

On June 14th Tara Portney will be departing her role as Parish Coordinator for an exciting new chapter in her life. If you would like to show your appreciation to Tara, there will be a basket in the Great Hall over the next few Sundays where you can place notes, cards, and small gifts for her. If you have questions, please contact The Rev. Ranie Neisler (rneisler@allsaintsbhm.org) or The Rev. Cindy Carter (ccarter@allsaintsbhm.org).


While we will be sad to see Tara go, we are also thrilled for this new opportunity for her! 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.


From Tara:

“Over the past four and a half years, it has been an immense privilege and honor to serve alongside such a dedicated and compassionate congregation. Working with each member of the community has been an enriching experience, and I am truly grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the mission and vision of this church. I want to express my sincere appreciation for the support, encouragement, and camaraderie that I have received from both the clergy and the congregation during my time here. Your commitment to our shared values and beliefs has inspired me daily, and I will carry the memories of our time together with me always. While I am saddened to be leaving this wonderful community, I am also excited about the new opportunities that lie ahead for me. Please know that my decision to resign was not made lightly, and I am confident that it is the right step for me at this point in my journey.”


Please take a moment to stop by and thank Tara for her time at All Saints. She will remain involved in the Episcopal Church and the Cursillo community, so happily there will be many occasions for our paths to continue to cross.
