July 2025 Trestleboard

As we enter the heart of summer and prepare to celebrate our nation’s Independence Day, I hope this message finds you in good health and high spirits. July is a time for reflection—not only on the birth of our country, but also on the values of liberty, unity, and civic virtue that we, as Freemasons, hold dear.

Our June Stated Communication continued the strong momentum of this historic year for Manasseh Lodge. Degree work is in full swing, and we continue to welcome and guide our new Brothers with care, excellence, and dedication. I extend my heartfelt thanks to all who have contributed to these efforts.

Looking ahead, our July Stated Communication will be held on Friday, July 11th, and promises to be a meaningful evening. In addition to our regular business and a patriotic-themed program, we will proudly present this year’s Manasseh Lodge Scholarship Awards. These deserving young individuals exemplify leadership, service, and academic excellence, and we are honored to support their educational journeys.

Please make every effort to attend and help us recognize these outstanding students and celebrate our shared Masonic and national heritage.

May the Great Architect of the Universe continue to guide your steps, bless your homes, and fill your hearts with Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth.

Yours in Brotherhood,

Joe Martinez
Worshipful Master
