WM Message: September 2008

Welcome Brethren, I trust everyone had a good summer and were able to spend some time with family and friends. Summer is a time to relax. I invite all members to our September meeting which will prove to be informative and directional.

I entered this fraternity with unconditional faith. The faith that I would receive no harm in my initiation. The faith that I was going from being a good man to a better man. The faith that the lodge would provide me with the means to fulfill my obligations. I must say that the fraternity has maintained that objective.

This summer during our time of darkness the lodge has not sat by idling ready to receive what is appearing top be its perceived fate. No the active members of the lodge have congregated at a members back yard and continued to promote freemasonry as it should in this new millennium. Ideas were shared and debated all with one purpose. To direct the lodge in a path that is able to combat the plagues of freemasonry.

The active past masters of the lodge received this information and have achieved reasonable options. Options are necessary as we in the lodge must make a big decision this month as we have a notice of motion on the floor that needs to be dealt with. The time has passed for rhetorical debates and great ideas. The time now is for action! Action is what the lodge will receive.

Confederation Lodge, the small lodge that could, is again; going to thrill the audience of other Freemasons with being innovative. Just as advertisers must constantly change how it delivers the message of their product, we, at Confederation will change how we deliver our freemasonry.
