Except during July & August
From the East
Are you a source of light, or of darkness?
We create our own reality. What we expect from life is
what we receive. If we expect and look for the trouble,
disagreement, and negativity in situations that is what we
are sure to find. If however, we expect and look for the
good, cooperative, and positive outcomes in situations
that is what we will experience.
Life cannot, and does not always go smoothly. We cannot
appreciate the good times and the joys that life brings
without the rough times and the sadness that must cross
our path on occasion. It is our response to these times
that defines who we are.
Brothers, I am guilty of being a source of darkness. That
is, in seeing and focusing only on the problems in lodge
that I perceive need to be corrected. And in being privy
to, and a part of, the occasional personality conflicts that
are destined to arise in any group.
Yes, there are problems in every lodge. Yes, we do not
always agree with, or get along with each other. This has
always been, and always will be. But we cannot be negative about these difficulties. Our negative thoughts are
like a cancer which spreads and weakens us, and those
around us, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
It is easy to fall into the trap of negativity or darkness.
But, with effort on our part, and the assistance of the
G.A.O.T.U., we can instead choose to open our eyes to the
light. My Brothers, that light is Brotherly love. Love is
being positive and expecting the best life has to offer.
Love is knowing that, although our human frailties will
result in disagreement, where there is hope and understanding there can be the peace and harmony to work
together towards a common goal.
So, for the sake of the Fraternity and your well-being, I
urge you to make the commitment to change your life, to
become a source of Masonic Light, that, like the Sun in
the heavens, all the world can see.

Attention Brothers!!!!
The oldest minutes of Royal Arch Masonry discovered are those of Fredericksburg Lodge, Virginia, Dec 22, 1753, and the earliest records in
England of 1758. The Royal Arch is now the
most popular and universally practiced of the so
-called higher degrees. The earliest recorded
reference to it so far discovered was found in
1743, when the master of the lodge at Youghai,
Ireland, was preceded by "the Royal Arch carried by two Excellent Masons."
Breakfast at the lodge is from 8am to
9:30am.
Rehearsals begin promptly at 9:30am
