Essex  ​
​Mark Master Masons
​"Tea at 3" Toast

​

   Brethren, please see the message as below from the The Grand Secretary.
Our Provincial Grand Master, R.W.Bro. Terence Sheern would like us all to become involved in this excellent idea. So, at 3pm, please feel free to make a brew and "toast" our absent brethren. If you wish to post the same on our Facebook page, then feel free to do do, in addition you can send them by email to essexmarkcomms@gmail.com
   We will then have a gallery on Facebook and on our website for all to see how we support each other in Essex and around the world! 


                                                                     From the Grand Secretary.

   In these unprecedented times where Covid-19 is a global crisis, it’s important that we maintain our links and think not just of those Brethren we are used to seeing or hearing from frequently but, perhaps more especially, of those we haven’t seen for some time. The United Grand Lodge of England has been encouraging its members to raise a glass to Absent Brethren at 9pm wherever in the world you maybe.
  Thanks to our Brethren in the Province of Northamptonshire & Huntingdonshire, a ‘tea at 3 o’clock’ toast has been started encouraging all Mark Master Masons throughout the world to take a cup of tea at 3pm and remember, phone or email a friend and brother to check they are ok. At the same time, sparing a thought for all Mark Master Masons throughout the Constitution, trusting that they are safe and well.
  The Pro Grand Master has committed to support this initiative confirming he will take tea (and a biscuit or two) at 3pm. So, come on Brethren, let’s get on board with this – why not post something on social media showing you taking tea at 3?
 
  Wishing you continued good health. Stay safe.
  With fraternal regards and best wishes,
  Ryan Williams,, PGJW, Grand Secretary.
