Brethren,
It has been said that Freemasonry is a journey, not a destination. However, even the most scenic journey loses its luster if you’re only looking at the map from your couch.
Our Lodge is more than just a building or a dues card; it is a living, breathing assembly of good men striving to become better. When a Brother is absent, a specific "light" is missing from our labors. Whether you’ve been away for a month or a decade, the door remains open and a “Rusty Trowel” is never a barrier to a returning friend.
Why Your Presence Matters! The strength of our fraternity doesn't come from the antiquity of our rituals, but from the vibrancy of our fellowship. Here is why we need you in Lodge:
• We only improve by using our working tools together. Discussion and debate amongst Brothers is what help us polish our character.
• Your unique perspective and experience add depth to our Masonic education and strength to our charity.
• The "refreshment" we enjoy together both inside and outside the Lodge is where the strongest bonds are forged.
A Call to Labor! I challenge you to look at your cabletow. If you’ve found yourself on the sidelines, I invite you to step back into the circle. Freemasonry is not a spectator sport; it requires the active participation of every Brother to truly thrive.
I look forward to seeing you at our next Stated Communication and other Lodge, District, and Grand Lodge events where your seat is—as always—waiting for you!
Sincerely and Fraternally,
John Redshaw
Worshipful Master 2026
