Dear Worshipful Sir and Brothers all:
“No great or important undertaking … .” Prayer undergirds all we do in Masonry. Every meeting opens and closes with an address to the Throne of Grace.
So it will be on June 20th when Division 8 presents “Operation Raising a Reader,” Grand Master Loui’s project to enhance the reading skills of disadvantaged children.
Your Lodge is invited to write an opening and closing prayer for this important event. All the Lodges in the division are encouraged to participate and two will be selected from the submissions.
If a prayer is chosen from your Lodge, you or a designee will have the honor of giving it at the June 20th event.
All submissions must be in the hands of the “Raising a Reader” committee by May 15th.
You may e-mail your entry to Floyd Orr – frorr@aol.com, Jim Ridley –bbcakessr@aol.com, or Greg Covel – gcovel8@gmail.com
You will be notified by June 1st, if a prayer from your Lodge is to be used.
Thank you for your consideration! Public education is a bulwark of a free society. “Operation Raising a Reader” is testimony that all masons in Division 8 support this fundamental ideal of democracy.
Fraternally and sincerely,
Floyd Orr
Committee Member “Raising a Reader”
