The worshipful master’s corner:
Brethren,
As we enter the month of May, I want to take a moment to reflect on the strength and unity of our lodge. The coming of spring serves as a reminder of renewal, progress, and the value of nurturing the foundation we have built together. Just as the working tools of our craft require care and attention, so too does our commitment to one another and to the principles we uphold. Let us continue to approach our meetings and labors with purpose, respect, and a shared dedication to improving ourselves and our community.
It is important that we approach our labors with purpose and intention. Whether you attend every meeting or are able to join us only occasionally, your presence matters. Our lodge is at its best when we come together in fellowship, support, and genuine care for one another.
Outside the lodge, let’s keep doing what we can to make a difference. The way we carry ourselves day to day matters just as much as anything we do in meetings. Whether it’s helping out a brother, lending a hand in the community, or just being a decent person when it counts, it all adds up. I’m looking forward to spending time with you all this month and continuing to grow together as a lodge.
Fraternally Yours,
Kevin Herring
From the Secretary’s Desk:
Brethren!
In various areas we’ve recently mentioned that we all have the obligation to take care of each other and reach out. Let us take this to heart: a brother you haven’t seen in a while? Call him! Our EA’s that are in “limbo”: call/text/email them! Check in on each other and our families. Times are difficult for some; do they need help in any way? We can react when we know, but many are either busy trying to make ends meet or maybe they have a little pride that’s keeping them from asking for help. We shouldn’t always wait until they come to us: they’ve already “asked, sought, and knocked” and occasionally they just find themselves needing help getting THROUGH the door! Remember we are to help, aid, and assist! We can actually make a difference when WE put forth the effort!
And again, thanks to all of our Brothers and our appendant bodies for being part of our Masonic family! Let’s continue to be better brothers and better men!
Fraternally,
Jeff Phillips, PM/Secretary
