Annual Meeting and Voting
The Annual Meeting will be broadcast live (just like the church service). We’ll have seating for 20 in the church, and 20 in the parish hall.
We’ll have three different ways to vote for candidates:
- Standard paper ballot voting in the church and parish hall.
- Drive through voting at the breezeway on the south transept of the church. There will be ballots and a ballot box on a table under the breezeway. After the service, just fill out your ballot and put it in the ballot box.
-
Online voting via Zoom. To vote via Zoom, please go to https://zoom.us/j/9037772020 on your computer immediately after the service. You’ll be able to watch the Annual Meeting with your browser, and vote via the Zoom app.

I'm concerned about a better world. I'm concerned about justice; I'm concerned about brotherhood; I'm concerned about truth. And when one is concerned about that, he can never advocate violence. For through violence you may murder a murderer, but you can't murder murder. Through violence you may murder a liar, but you can't establish truth. Through violence you may murder a hater, but you can't murder hate through violence. Darkness cannot put out darkness; only light can do that.
Martin Luther King Jr., Where Do We Go from Here?
Many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. And it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, “What do I care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.” Yes, evil often seems to surpass good by far. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I still have hope.
Vincent van Gogh, The Letters of Vincent Van Gogh

Hidden in plain sight in our community lies one of the most odious crimes against humankind: slavery, which is the result of the widespread trafficking of human beings. Incredible as it seems in this day and time, the person mowing your lawn or cleaning your house or selling magazine subscriptions door-to-door in your neighborhood might be trapped in involuntary servitude.
Human trafficking, as defined by the Texas Department of Public Safety, “involves the recruitment, harboring, transporting or procurement of a person for labor or services for the purpose of involuntary servitude, slavery or forced commercial sex acts.”
Certainly, as faith leaders, we have heard of the existence of this malevolent crime in the United States for several years. But, like most people, we have not been fully aware of this modern-day slavery in our community. This lack of knowledge among the general public is especially insidious because it only helps perpetuate the problem. That is why increased public awareness of human trafficking and its virulent consequences are essential to its elimination.
