Brethren,
Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and wishing you and your family nothing but the best this coming new year.
In the current Masonic Herald on the OES page (21) is a speech written by Sister Shannon Skeens on how OES and Blue Lodge can work together to help each other grow. One of MW Jack’s themes this year is growing the appendant bodies and although OES is not technically an appendant body it is definitely Masonic dependent. We need to work with all our appendant bodies to continue to grow our craft and our communities.
