NAVIGATORS NOTES
Faith of itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
(James 2:17)
Our works don’t earn us salvation. However, we
make our love of God visible through the things we
do. As I reflect back on the past several months as
your Faithful Navigator, I am grateful for the works
that have been done by our assembly officers and
members.
It is through our charitable actions we live out our
faith. Changed by what we have experienced, we
find ourselves becoming more generous and
selfless. This self-giving in turn nourishes our love
for God and our desire to be with him, so we return
to him in prayer and thanksgiving. It’s not talking
about faith but showing it in the way you live!
Let us pray;
“Thank you, Father, for the gift of faith! Draw us
closer to you so that our faith makes itself known in
every choice we make and every word we speak."

CAPTAINS NOTES
I would like to thank the entire membership for
their use of our web site to request Honor Guards.
This has allowed me to get updates posted in a
timely manner. Our Webmaster has been very
responsive to our requests and this is much
appreciated. Working with the Commanders has
been a pleasure, the interaction and cooperation
amongst them to cover the requested events is great.
It is my hope that as we move forward that our
member Councils and their Captains look for
opportunities to participate in Community Activities
in there area to show our presence and participation.
This will help the Order grow and our Assembly to
flourish.
