Fidelity Lodge #103 - Prince Hall joined Fuller Park and Fellowship Church in The Community Easter breakfast and Easter Hunt.... it's all about the kids.

How good and how pleasant it is for Brethren to dwell together in Unity....

"It is not what we eat, but what we digest … that makes us strong.
It is not what we earn, but what we save … that makes us rich.
It is not what we read, but what we remember … that makes us learned.
It is not what we profess, but what we practice … that makes us Masons !"

~Brother Pete Rasmussen

There was once an old Mason who hadn't attended his lodge for 20 years. One day he thought he'd go and see what's been going on with his lodge in his absence. When he arrived he found boards on the windows, and a padlock on the door with a sign saying CLOSED.

As he stood staring at this sad lonely building a younger man walked up and looked along with the old man.

The old man said; I was a member here for many years.

The young man replied; I was the secretary.

I just can't understand how this lodge could have gone dark. I bought my life membership 50 years ago. Said the old man.

To this the young man replied every member here were life members as well.

Puzzled the old man said; if everyone had life memberships, then what happened? How did it go dark?

The young man replied; no one attended the meetings or became involved.

My point is just this; It isn't enough to buy a life membership, it isn't enough to pay dues, and it isn't enough to say you're a Mason. You have to attend, get involved, and claim your benefits.

St. Johns Day celebrations.....

The Grand Master of The Lodge of The Heavens has hit HIS gavel to call yet another meeting to order. HE has communicated to the Heavenly Grand Secretary to send a summons which was handed to you by Bro. Death. You have been ordered to lay down your apron, your working tools, and your jewel. Your compass was set at 60 degrees as you sat in the East and passed The Chair of King Solomon. Now your compass is at 180 degrees which is symbolic of the dead level, you were once raised, being prepared to ascend to that Upper House. Your journey up the 15 Rounds of Jacob's Ladder, no man, can take with you. But, when you reach the porch of that Great Lodge Of The Heavens, you will met by some friends you know. The Holy St. Johns will meet you and greet you, as the Stewards and Deacons will es**rt you to the Alter with crossed staffs. The Tyler of Mourning will seal the door. Then you will be obligated and receive your crown, your robe, your jewel, and a special token. The GRAND MASTER OF THE Lodge of THE Heavens will say, " LET US RECEIVE THIS DEAR BROTHER ON THE 5 POINTS OF FRIENDSHIP AND HE IS ENTITLED TO ALL RIGHTS, LIGHTS AND BENEFITS OF THIS WORSHIPFUL LODGE. WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME, GO TO THE HEAVENLY GRAND SECRETARY'S DESK , SIGN YOUR NAME ON THE ROLL, AND TAKE YOUR PLACE AMONGST THE CRAFT WITH ME. Rest dear brother, rest easy, for your work here is done.

Rest In Power Past Master Jeremy Carter
