When the Lord needed a warrior to defeat evil, He said whom shall we send? Christ said here am I send me. Since then, warriors have spent Christmas apart from their families on the frontline around the world defending Freedom and protecting Peace on Earth. At this time we want to send a special Thank You to all our Veterans and Prayers that the Lord would watch over and protect all our men and women in uniform around the world let them feel our Love and give them Peace.

Brethren,
Do you know of a masonic lodge or affiliated body that is in need of lodge furniture? If so, these pews are available free of charge, but must be picked up from Grand Bay No 767. Please contact Brother Mark Webster, Secretary of Grand Bay No 767, for more information.
Fraternally,
Zach A. Holmes, Grand Secretary
To all my brethren in Free Masonry of Alabama.
It is again my pleasure to say hello to you all. October is the month of Halloween for children. Sometimes the month of October is for those who see cooler weather, even a thought of Fall in the air. It now becomes time for me to say get yourselves ready for Grand Lodge Assembly coming in November 2023.
I think it has been a splendid time to gather with families and have fun for the season. Please keep our children safe and happy. There may be sickness in the family but let us not forget the one who really makes all things possible. The Father of Lights wants us to remember that he is the true one who keeps us together.
This could be my very last time of posting for you all. I do, hope I have made this past year pleasant for you all. It has been an honor for me to bring prayer and peace toward you and your families.
I love you all. May God richly Bless you all.

Brethren All,
This is a month that we as Americans celebrate the Labor we put forth to make a living. We are told not to let Masonry interfere with our Labor. Making the family safe and serving them is a Masons desire. This month also leads us toward fall and the turning of leaves further north. God creates beautiful scenes.
One thing we can do in September is to attend lodge and join in some of the activities, that we as Masons do to help the community. What happens when we take a solemn obligation on the Holy Bible and blatantly fail what we swore to do? We have lied before God and man. What excuse do you use to not do what is ask of you?
There is coming a time that Masonry will go the route of the Church. It is going down and will eventually be no more. What will our worldly system be like then?
Do you know of people your lodge has helped? So, don’t you want to be a part of that work? Remember we are here for the fraternity not for our individual accolades. Learn one place of the work and help out by doing that place.
May God richly bless all my brethren. Let God be Praised!
Right Worshipful and Reverend
Ricky Kilgore, Grand Chaplain
