Fundraising Dinner Served to The Good Shepherd Tabernacle
September 9, 2017

Brethren,

The Fellowcraft Club provided and served dinner this past Saturday to the Good Shepherd Tabernacle. The dinner served received many compliments. We were light with help when Bro T. Mott came in to help. Bro Mott recently had surgery and is recovering but came to help anyway. Then, Bro K. Rhodes walked in bringing the troops from the GOW School. These young men eagerly served the dinner and bused the tables. Many members from the Tabernacle were curious who these polite young men were. Bro Rhodes spent a couple of minutes talking to the guests about the GOW School and the men he brought. It was a fun and easy evening.

Dinner served:
Appetizer: Cheese and cracker platter with mini sausages in a zesty sauce.
Main Entrée: Marinated chicken breast along with scalloped potatoes and peas.

Thanks to those who came and supported the lodge.
Wor G. Capron
Wor R. Barber

We sincerely thank the Good Shepherd Tabernacle for continuing to put their trust in us for their dinners.  All money raised by the Blazing Star Lodge #694 F&AM is used to fund the Fellowcraft Club’s charitable works and organizations.  If interested in booking our banquet room for your group’s next function please view our menu and contact us.

Brethren –

It is my sad duty to report on the death of Br. G. Wayne Hawk, who put down the working tools on August 27, 2017, at age 89.

We just learned of his passing yesterday, so there will not be a request for a Masonic funeral. His obituary notice is reprinted below.

“Most glorious God! author of all good and giver of all mercy! pour down Thy blessings upon us, and strengthen our solemn engagements with the ties of sincere affection! May the present instance of mortality remind us of our approaching fate, and draw our attention toward Thee, the only refuge in time of need! that, when the awful moment shall arrive, that we are about to quit this transitory scene, the enlivening prospect of Thy mercy may dispel the gloom of death; and after our departure hence in peace, and in Thy favor, may we be received into Thine everlasting kingdom, to enjoy, in union with the souls of our departed friends, the just reward of a pious and virtuous life. Amen.”
