Brother, Sisters and Friends:
On April 18, 2010 I made an official visit to Messiah Temple No. 117. The brothers were in high spirits as they looked forward to the upcoming bowling tournament. As it turns out, Messiah Temple has 6 ringers in their lodge and they have already declared themselves the winners.
Messiah Temple also had a raising on their Trestle Board. I did not stay for the raising but did return afterward to see the newly raised Master Mason.
Everyone seemed happy, even the new Master Masons.
Next, I attended St. Samuel No. 38's communication which follows Messiah Temple. We had lots of laughs during the communication.
Altogether I had a wonderful time fellowshipping with the brothers of both lodges.
Fraternally,
Ill. Raymond L. Smith, 33°
