Masonic Youth Update

Before Christmas, Susan and the kids helped the Masons deliver dinners to needy families around Bend. After a quiet Christmas at home, Susan and Jenn traveled to Eugene for a Rainbow initiation. Several of the girls from our Bethel have joined Rainbow, even though we don't have an Assembly nearby, and another wanted to join, so Susan took them over with her. Jennifer did the part of Hope. 

We celebrated the New Year at home as well; the kids worked on their school assignments over break, trying to finish the semester early. Today the Bethel held a special meeting to initiate a new member. After a few years of surges and setbacks, the Bethel finally seems to be steadily growing.
After the initiation, we went bowling with the members of the Bethel, as well as the DeMolay Chapter.
