A message from the Worshipful Master
Manasseh Family,
As summer turns to fall and we welcome the crisp days of September, I hope each of you is finding time to reflect, recharge, and enjoy the company of family and friends. The change of season is always a reminder of renewal—and of the steady strength that comes from fellowship and shared purpose within our Lodge.
August was truly a memorable month for Manasseh Lodge! From our August Stated Communication featuring Worshipful Brother Tom Costis, to our joyful International Family Day, and finally to the honor of hosting District 1B’s One Day Conferral, our Lodge came together in a spirit of unity, education, and service. Thank you to all who participated and gave your time and energy to make these moments so meaningful!
A hearty congratulations to our five new Brothers who participated in the One Day Conferral, and a warm welcome to them and their families to the greater Manasseh family!
Looking ahead, please join us for our September Stated Communication on Friday, September 5th, 2025. We will gather once again in Brotherhood to conduct the important business of the Lodge and to strengthen the ties that bind us together, and again welcome our guest speaker for the evening, WB James Buckhorn
This month also brings opportunities to travel and represent Manasseh Lodge among our extended Masonic family. On Wednesday, September 3rd, we will visit Odenton Lodge No. 209 in Maryland, and on Saturday, September 13th, we will journey in the morning to Richmond-Randolph No. 19, for their September Stated Communication! These visits are wonderful chances to expand our fellowship, support our Brethren, and showcase the spirit of Manasseh Lodge beyond our own walls.
As we move into this new season, may the Great Architect of the Universe bless our labors, inspire our hearts, and guide our every step. I look forward to seeing you in Lodge and on the road this month!
Yours in Brotherhood,
Joe Martinez
Worshipful Master
