To: All Subordinate Lodges
Dear Brothers,
The upcoming weekend of September 9-11, 2011, has been
designated as the
second Sabbath of September, in which the Pythian Day of
Divine Worship has
been established. Subordinate Lodges are requested to attend
divine services
in a body. Services may be conducted in a Pythian Hall or
other suitable
location, or the members may attend services of their
individual faiths in
their Houses of Worship.
It is at this time that we, the Knights of Pythias, now come
together and
put into our Prayers, the names and memories of those who
need us the most.
As a Benevolent organization, let us show our communities
through deeds of
caring and concern, by conducting services open to the
public or by
attending services together as a lodge. Remember to include
our fellow Brothers
and Sisters, their families, and loved ones in your prayers.
Also, please
include members of our Military and their families, as well
as the survivors
and family members of those taken from us by the terrorists
attack on
September 11, 2001.
We ask the Supreme Ruler of the Universe to Bless us and
Keep us, as we
the Pythian Order, work together in the Spirit of Friendship
and Love, to make
our world a better place for all. We ask this in your name.
Amen
Fraternally,
L. Keith Stooksberry, Jr.,
Supreme Prelate
