A message from the Worshipful Master

     Manasseh Family, I wish you all a happy and healthy Fall Season, hope you are staying warm and well during the changing of the Seasons, and wish you a peace and solace that comes with the pending Holiday festivities.

     We have maintained a high level of activity post-Summer and I want to thank all of you for your support for our recent Manassas Car Show and Annual Trunk-Or-Treat events; they were a resounding success and hope they continue for many years to come.

     We will be holding our November Stated Communication on Friday, November 3, 2023, at 7:30 pm, with dinner at 6:30 pm.  Dinner will be our Annual Thanksgiving Dinner Fundraiser, and the suggested donation is $15.00. 

     This month, at our Stated Communication, we will be discussing the importance of Masonic education, both within the walls of the temple, as well as without in the world, so bring your questions and comments because we will discuss them in great detail.  Also, please find the call to Grand Lodge included in this month’s message.

     As we move towards the more festive parts of the year, know that there is a Brother or his loved ones out there who could use a phone call, visit, or a letter of well wishes. Not all of us are blessed with an abundance of relatives and activities, and we should never forget that the Lodge brings each and every one of us into each other’s realms of family, so make sure all those you know realize that through your acts of care.

May the Great Architect of the Worlds continue to shower you and those you love with blessings and peace and hold you in the purview of His Light.
 
γενηθητω φως - “Let There Be Light”


Yours in Brotherhood,

Joe Martinez
Worshipful Master
