A message from the Worshipful Master

   Manasseh Family, I hope everyone is happily wishing away the last vestiges of Winter, as we move into the warmer days of Spring (although as I write this, I am staring out my window and seeing snow flurries.)

   I want to thank all the members of the Manasseh Family who joined us as we visited the George Washington Masonic National Memorial for the 100th Anniversary Rededication Ceremony of the Cornerstone. It was a fabulous day, with great weather, great camaraderie, and meeting new friends and Brothers!

   We will be holding our March Stated Communication on Friday, March 10, 2023, at 7:30 pm, with Dinner at 6:30 pm.

   Our Program for March’s Stated Communication will be provided by a dear friend of our Lodge, Most Worshipful Brother Alan Adkins, Past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Virginia, who will regale us with stories about the interesting process of Grand Masters making Masons “At Sight.”  Dinner will be served by the Lodge, and will consist of Homemade Tomato Bisque, Artisanal Grilled Cheese, and Fresh Salad.  The suggested donation is $10.00.

   May the Great Architect of the Universe keep his gaze upon you, surround you with blessings and joy, and bestow unto you an open heart filled with Brotherly Love and Caritas towards all.  May He continue to shower you with Grace and a Love that knows no bounds.
γενηθητω φως - “Let There Be Light”


Yours in Brotherhood,

Joe Martinez
Worshipful Master
