WORSHIPFUL MASTER’S MESSAGE

WB MICHAEL E. BRENNAN JR.

 

Brethren,

 

This month’s message relates to the working tools of the Fellow craft degree. Let us first look at the plumb, which reminds us to walk uprightly in our several stations before god and man. To me this is treating people with respect and dignity and showing respect for their Deity.

 

The square teaches us to square our actions by the square of virtue and morality. This means to be honest and to respect all mankind.

 

The level reminds us that we are traveling the level of time to

that undiscovered country from whom born no traveler returns. Death will happen to every person in this world; it is a sad but true part of life. You should try to live to life to the fullest and treat all people with respect and dignity and honor thy Deity.

 

On a personal note I would like thank all of the brethren for attending Lodge and participating in the Fellow craft

Degree. I would also like to welcome our 2 newest Master

Masons, Keith Jackson and John Pflugfelder III. I am looking forward to seeing you at lodge and congratulating you on

your achievement.

 

Fraternally Yours

WB Michael E Brennan Jr.                    Worshipful Master
