A message from the Worshipful Master
Manasseh Family, I hope you are all enjoying the warmer days of Spring! Please continue to keep RWB Carl Dunn and RWB Bill Costis in your daily devotions for quick recoveries!
Wanted to extend a heartfelt and gracious thanks to all those who participated in the Grand Master’s Statewide One-Day Conferral which was hosted at our Lodge for the 4th District. Manasseh Lodge welcomed 12 new Master Masons, one of the largest groups in the Commonwealth! A sincere thank you to the mentors who took the time to guide these new Brothers through the Degrees in our Ancient Craft!
We will be holding our May Stated Communication on Saturday, May 13, 2023, at 1:30 pm, with Lunch at 12:00 pm. For those Brethren who have difficulty traveling in the evening, please join us during the day on a weekend to share in Fellowship with your Brethren.
Our Program for May’s Stated Communication will be provided by the DEO and will expose you to the millennia-old Allegory of the Cave, and its significance to Masonic work. The suggested donation for lunch is $10.00.
Again, a hearty welcome to our new Brothers, and we look forward to seeing you in your Lodge in the coming days! We look forward to beginning your education on Monday nights starting on May 8th!
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.
