As Freemasons, we take responsibility for our journey and try to make conscious decisions about the journey we are on. Those decisions are informed by our experience, our circumstances, but also by our efforts to understand ourselves and the world around us. Our work in Freemasonry help to guide our next steps, recognizing that the path ahead requires effort, discipline, and a willingness to be changed. This month’s theme, “Stepping onto the Path,” asks us to recall that first deliberate step and to examine whether we continue to walk with the same awareness and purpose.
Each Alpha meeting is an invitation to take another purposeful step: to enter with attention, to listen with care, and to participate with reverence. The ritual—both familiar and ever mysteriously foreign—the silence, the darkness and light, the fellowship—all are tools laid before us. Whether they shape us depends upon how consciously we take them up.
Our members and visitors are encouraged to reflect on where they find themselves on the Masonic journey. What has strengthened them, weighed upon them, and what might you be able to share with your fellow craftsmen to help them along their journey.
We will be receiving the DDGM, Right Worshipful Drayton Hanna and his suite for a fraternal visit. We hope you will join us by making a reservation for dinner.
