Victoria District Divine Service
On Sunday May 29th. 2022, Victoria District held our Annual Divine Service
On Sunday May 29th, the Brethren of Victoria District attended the Annual Divine Service, held in Sunderland Ontario at the United Church in the St. Andrews Chapel ministered by Bro. L.W. (Les) Hills, who is also our District Chaplain. Bro. Hills inspired the congregation with his blend of insightful hymns and music, anecdotes, personal engagement with the "flock" and carefully selected scripture in his sermon titled "Pride -Deadliest of the Seven Sins". Few escaped his contagious humour, not even the District Deputy Grand Master, and all left enthused. The service was well-attended by Brethren and their spouses from 7 of the 12 District Lodges.
During Announcements, Bro. Hills invited V.W. Bro. John Gorrell to the front, where he was presented with The Veteran Jubilee Medal, in recognition of long service for a Mason who has completed fifty years of continuous membership in good standing in a lodge in this Grand Jurisdiction. (Due to COVID challenges the medal was not available to present to John in Fall 2021 with his 50-year pin) Making the presentation: W.Bro. Shawn Blacklock (WM), R.W. Bro. Gerald Van Houdt (DDGM), accompanied by R.W. Bro. Ron Janes (District Secretary) and R.W. Bro. Murray Baily.
