In the weeks leading up to our recent Change of Command at the Spring Joint C&I, I had the opportunity to speak with several knights and dames at Temple Church. A clear and encouraging theme emerged: there is a strong desire for regular gatherings, perhaps monthly, that allow us to strengthen fellowship, serve our communities, and raise awareness of SMOTJ and our Priory.
These gatherings could take several forms, including shared meals, service projects with local organizations, and community-facing events that introduce others to our mission and, in time, help grow our membership. Several members have already expressed interest in helping plan and coordinate these efforts.
I would welcome your ideas and recommendations. Many of you are deeply connected in your local communities and may be aware of needs, organizations, or opportunities where our Priory could make a meaningful contribution. Send your thoughts to prior@templechurchpriory.org .
