September 2024 Stated Communication

Full Trestleboard available here.

Warm Fraternal Greetings, my Brothers!

I’ll admit, my comments this month might have been heavily influenced by the 2024 Summer Olympics. A little…

For the most part, Freemasonry is an individual journey. Sure, we have coaches, mentors, and teammates who push us along our way, but, for the most part, the work that we do in building our symbolic temple or on our ashlar is that effort to make a good man, better.

However, there are some moments when our individual talents are needed to drive a team to greatness. Relay events serve as a prime example – as a team is assembled based on the strengths of the individuals who are measured on the sum of their potential. Speed, power, endurance, and even wisdom are all carefully balanced. This can be seen in our Lodge as well.

I invite you to attend our September Stated Communication on Friday, September 6th, when our Wardens and those interested in pursuing their path to the East, “move up” for the evening. Watch as your Lodge Officers pass the leadership baton and, if you are so inclined, use this opportunity to answer the call in your heart to serve St. John’s Lodge No.11.

On a personal note, many thanks to all who attended, stepped up for the evening, and supported the Lodge for our August meeting. Your dedication was greatly appreciated!

Sincerely and Fraternally,
W.B. Michael Arce
Worshipful Master
