A little about Pastor Will...

On Sunday, October 22, the congregation of St. Mark’s Lutheran Church called Pastor William R. Starkweather to be their next pastor. He has accepted the call and will begin his journey with St. Mark’s in December.

Originally from Marietta, Georgia, Pastor Starkweather holds a Human Services degree from Kennesaw State University. He has worked with at-risk youth at the Children’s Stabilization and Assessment Center in Canton, Georgia, before pursuing his call to ministry. After graduating from Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota, he served in New York’s Hudson Valley before moving to Texas, where he became an active leader in interfaith work, addiction recovery, and prison ministry.

Beyond ministry, Pastor Will enjoys playing guitar, writing, baking cheesecakes, and spending time with his wife, Julie, and their three children.

Thank you, Pastor Will, for sharing your wisdom and passion in this conversation. We look forward to an enlightening discussion!

Join The Conversation with Pastor David L. Sincere Jr. for a powerful Black History Month Special – Bible Study Edition as we uncover the untold stories of the Sugar Land 95 and the Convict Leasing System—a dark chapter in American history that shaped our communities in ways many still do not fully understand.

📢 Special Guest: Bruce Lemmie – a historian dedicated to preserving the history of the Sugar Land 95, bringing insight into the legacy of forced labor and its lasting effects on our community.

What Are the Sugar Land 95?

The Sugar Land 95 refers to the remains of 95 African American men who were discovered in an unmarked burial ground in 2018 during a construction project in Sugar Land, Texas. These men were victims of the Convict Leasing System, a form of neo-slavery that flourished after the abolition of chattel slavery. The system allowed state governments to lease prisoners—most of whom were Black men arrested on minor or fabricated charges—to private companies for backbreaking labor, particularly in industries like sugar and railroad construction.

What Was the Convict Leasing System?

After the Civil War and the passing of the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery except as punishment for a crime, many Southern states exploited this loophole. Black men were disproportionately arrested for vague offenses like vagrancy, loitering, or failing to prove employment and were then leased to private industries, forced to work under brutal conditions. Many died from exhaustion, malnutrition, and abuse, their bodies buried in unmarked graves—forgotten by history.

This discussion will not only explore the historical injustices faced by African Americans but also provide a faith-based perspective on remembrance, resilience, and justice.

Join us for an evening of learning, reflection, and empowerment as we honor the past and seek to build a more just future. Don’t miss this important conversation!
