A message from the Worshipful Master
Manasseh family, I hope that you all are moving past the chilly days of Winter and looking forward to the warmer and longer days of Spring!
I first want to extend a heartfelt and warm “Thank You” to all of those who participated in raising Brother Preston Hamrick to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason at the end of March. It is truly awe-inspiring to see a father raise his son. Thank you to the cast for a marvelous degree, and a special thanks to our guests, who traveled from as far as Tennessee to join us that evening!
We will be holding our March Stated Communication on Friday, April 7, 2023, at 7:30 pm, with Dinner at 6:30 pm.
Our Program for April’s Stated Communication will be provided by our District team, to include Worshipful Brother Tom Costis, Past Master, and District Instructor of Work, and myself. Dinner will be served by the Lodge Stewards and will consist of “Breakfast-For-Dinner” including eggs, bacon, biscuits, gravy, and fruit, along with coffee or cold beverages. The suggested donation is $10.00.
As we close this monthly newsletter out, I want to wish you and yours a very Happy and Blessed Easter, a very Blessed Passover, and a very Joyous Month of Ramadan.
May the Great Architect of the Universe keep his gaze upon you, surround you with blessings and joy, and fill your hearts with the hope and wonder that is exemplified in the rebirth of Spring. May He continue to shower you with Grace and a Love that knows no bounds.
