Our loss is Bluebell children’s hospices gain!
We will be saying farewell to our esteemed, loved and able Operations Manager Rachel, when this summer she moves to take up a significant and important position within the charity sector.
Rachel has been my foremost friend and aid in my early days of understanding how things might get done at All Saints and I am personally very grateful for her thoughtfulness and kindness. Do please pray for her and those she will be supporting in her new and important role. I am in conversation with the wardens and others about how best to carry on Rachel’s important work within the All Saints family and we would value your prayers too.
Thank you Rachel indeed – here are some fitting and well deserved tributes for your work and presence in our midst.
“It has been a joy to work and minister with Rachel these past four years. She has done a wonderful job in keeping the operations of the church going, often behind the scenes. We have had a lot of fun working together and there has been lots of laughter. Most of all, it has been a real blessing to work with a friend who encourages you in your faith everyday. We will miss her very much.”
Revd Dan Christian
“Rachel has brought a whole range of expertise to the life of All Saints .Church family life changes & goes through “ seasons” just like family life does & Rachel has been instrumental in helping us steer our way . Much of what she has been involved in is not directly seen by all the church family but Rachel gets things done & makes things happens!
Perhaps one of Rachel’s greatest gifts has been the care & commitment she has shown to her Operations Team supporting & encouraging them through many ups and downs . Our loss is Bluebell Hospice's gain.”

“It has been such a joy to work with Rachel. She has brought practical and visionary gifts which have helped us to develop our organisation, but she has also brought a lot of laughter into the office and also a steady reliance on God. We will really miss her and wish her well for this next season.”
Revd Beth Keith
“No one can fully appreciate all that you have done and all that you have brought during your nearly 5 years as Operations Manager at All Saints. Thank you for your wisdom, discernment and the way that you have supported the mission and ministry of All Saints. I loved working with you, Rachel, during my time as senior churchwarden and I am forever thankful for you and your support during this time. You will be missed and I pray that God will bless you as you move into your new role.”
