A message from the Worshipful Master

    Manasseh Family, Fall is here and I hope you all had a pleasant and relaxing Summertime!  The kids are back in school, the beach towels are put away, and we are back to work!

     A hearty thank you to all of the members of our greater Lodge family who supported us during the Summer, we definitely did not slow down and the camaraderie and fellowship were palpable and very much alive.

    We will be holding our October Stated Communication on Friday, October 6, 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 Brother Chris Ruli, Past Grand Historian of the Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia, and author of the new book:  The White House and the Freemasons!  Join us for an evening of fellowship, education, and a spotlight on the Americana of Freemasonry.

    This month is packed with many events across all our bodies, culminating in the Annual Trunk-Or-Treat celebration on Halloween weekend, be sure to invite your friends and neighbors for a great time!

May the Great Architect of the Earth and Heaven surround you with blessings and joy, open your minds to the beauties of creation, and fill your hearts with the peace and comfort awakened in those with hearts full of love.  May He continue to shower you with Grace and a Love that has no limits.
