Initiations

Tonight Jennifer helped Bethel 66 initiate a new member. She filled in as Junior Princess.

I still try to attend Bend Lodge whenever I can.  This weekend I helped with an Entered Apprentice Degree.

Statewide Initiation

This weekend, we attended the annual DJR (DeMolay-Job's Daughters -Rainbow) Initiation Day. We took Bryan and another boy from Pilgrim Chapter, and Jennifer and a couple of girls from Bethel 11.

Bryan performed Fifth Preceptor and a Templar prisoner in the DeMolay degree, while Jennifer was Fifth Messenger for the Bethel initiation.

After the ceremonies, the kids enjoyed a dance and talent show.
