Please note the following important information.

Before the Annual Meeting:

If you are unfamiliar with either the “Participants” panel or the “Chat” panel in Zoom, you will need to practice prior to the meeting. You can practice in an impromptu Zoom meeting with a friend, using the telephone as an auxiliary communication if you need it for receiving instruction. You should understand:

  • How to use the Participants panel to reflect the name(s) of all participants on a Zoom session, in order to be identified and to facilitate voter check-in before the meeting.

  • How to use the Raise Hand icon in the Participants panel, which is how you will indicate if you have a question or wish to share a comment.

  • How to enter a response in a Private Chat panel, which is how you will vote if you and another voting member are sharing a device. 

If you wait until the day of the meeting to learn how to use these Zoom features, you may experience difficulty with participation. 

If you are unfamiliar with Zoom please click on this link to view a YouTube video which provides an excellent step-by-step process for downloading and using Zoom.

A Zoom link to the annual meeting will be sent to all registered attendees by Friday, June 5. 

Preparing for the Annual Meeting:

  • Please review the proposed budget, proposed motions, committee reports, and other materials prior to the meeting. Links to these materials will be sent to you with the Zoom link.

Flower communion, June 14 

In preparation for our annual Flower Communion service on June 14, we want to fill our Sunday morning videos with flowers. Since we will not be together to offer flowers to each other in person, we are asking that you record a 10-second silent video of you, or you and/or members of your family, holding flowers. These will be connected and presented in our worship offerings for that day.
