Roswell members to start Funeral Team

Several brothers within the Roswell Lodge have felt the "pinch" of  lives ending uncelebrated.  And yet, like I do, they also think Freemasons  are especially prepared to accept this inescapable result of living.  Maybe there are a few other brothers who also contemplate what we will leave ... not what we can take with us.
 
Recently, there has been significant progress in developing and
executing the  special requirements of a Masonic Funeral (aka 
Masonic Burial or  Masonic Memorial).  Just a few lines quoted
from the last service led by Roswell brothers may move some
more brothers to demonstrate our special relationship connecting
us to the ultimate  power of the Universe - - as laid out by the
Great Architect:
 
The Master, and officers and brothers assembled,
​"take their places  around the coffin... If a man dies, shall he rise again?"
 Response all: "The dust shall return to the earth as it was,
and the Spirit to God who gave it.... " "The Lord gave, and
the Lord hath taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord."

Response all:  "God is our God forever. He will be our guide
and support through the dark valley of the shadow of death."


 We are not just lifting up a brother ... we are sustaining the 
promise that the brother's Widow, or his orphans, will be 
embraced by the lodge.  

We have already had some volunteers who want to serve on a
permanent team, but we need a few more to make the team
complete.  If you are willing to proceed, please reach out to:
 
Past Master Mike Roman

Lodges in several States are beginning normal activities this week. We need to be prepare to restart our normal activities as well.
