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!  Thank you to all who joined us for our August Stated Communication; it was great sharing in food, fellowship, and Freemasonry with you all.
 
   Don’t forget to join us for the Grand Master’s Official Visit to District 4, to be held on Saturday, August 12, 2023, at 6:00 pm at Kena Shriners.  Please reach out to our District Deputy Grand Master, RWB Clancy Nidell, for tickets.

   On Monday, August 21, we will be welcoming a new Brother into the Mysteries of Freemasonry and conferring the Entered Apprentice Degree.  Stay tuned for more details in the coming days.

   We will be holding our September Stated Communication on Friday, September 1, 2023, at 7:30 pm, with dinner at 6:30 pm.  Dinner will be provided by the Lodge Stewards, and the suggested donation is $10.00. 

   We are fortunate to welcome and host Worshipful Brother James Buckhorn, Past Master of Pentalpha Lodge No. 565 under the Grand Lodge of Indiana, who will join us as our Guest Speaker next month.

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
