A message from the Worshipful Master

     Manasseh Family, Summer is here, and I hope you are all taking the time to relax, travel, and spend time with your loved ones!  Please continue to keep all those who are in need of prayers and well wishes in your daily devotions. 

     We will be holding our July Stated Communication on Saturday, July 8, 2023, at 1:30 pm, with dinner at 12:30 pm.  Lunch will be provided by the Lodge Stewards, and the suggested donation $10.00.  We will also be presenting our annual Lodge scholarships to those chosen Masonic youth, so come out and congratulate them!

     We are blessed to again welcome to host Worshipful Brother Matt Parker, current sitting Master of Wendell Lodge No. 565 under the Grand Lodge of North Carolina, who will present a program at our June Stated on The Rubbish of the Temple.

     July will be an action-packed month for our youth groups! A special Congratulations to Miss Alyssa Kiffer, the new Grand Worthy Advisor of Virginia Rainbow, from our very own Manassas Assembly, and another congrats to the young men of Prince William DeMolay, who have been doing an excellent job of growing their Chapter!

May the Great Architect of the Universe surround you with blessings and joy, open your eyes to the wonders of creation, and fill your hearts with the hope and wonder that are the warmer days of Summer.  May He continue to shower you with Grace and a Love that knows no bounds.

Yours in Brotherhood,

Joe Martinez
Worshipful Master
