From the West


Brethren,

Last month we passed one Fellow Craft and Initiated one Entered Apprentice. Our good fortune continues.  This can only be a testament to the wonderful work our lodge is preforming both in the community and with in the walls of our lodge.

Thanks are in order for the brethren that came and helped out during our Ice Cream Social part 2.  Though it seems that we didn't get the word out as well as we would have liked, there were definitely some smiles.

Lastly, Congratulations to brother Andy Swicegood, plural member of Rockford and Sweetwater, for receiving Rockford's Proctor Award on Aug 14.

Prayer Request


Brethren,

The daughter of one of our newer Master Mason's, Brother Shanken, was hit head on by a drunk driver tonight. Resent reports suggest that she is doing well; but, please keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayers.
