Be There, or Be Square
Our Annual Meeting will occur “virtually” on the last Sunday of this month at 11:30 a.m., CST, and you must register online to participate.
It’s vital to our institutional life as a parish. As always, our members will elect new members of the Vestry and receive the treasuer’s and other reports. This year, those include reports from Mother Susan and the Search Committee for our next rector.
Tthere are also proposed changes to the bylaws to be voted on. A letter about the process of the Nominating Committee in formulating those from its chair, Frances Bruton, and the text of those proposals can be found on the Internet in what’s labeled “Update 2” by clicking on this link: https://www.christchurch.mx/2021/02/11/1252/
And short biographies and photos of the slate of Vestry candidates submitted by that committee and approved by the Vestry can be found by clicking on this link:

All this information will come to you again in the regular weekly parish e-mail this weekend.
For the annual meeting, “electors” remain defined by our bylaws as men and women age 18 and older who in the past year supported the parish “by their offerings and presence.”
The meeting must take place over the Internet, and specifically will be on the Web site of the video-conferencing service Zoom, because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Again, you must register online in order to attend.
Important detail: Only one vote will be permitted per connection to the meeting, so one parishioner in a household might need to be on a smartphone while another is on the computer.
