Prayers for abundant blessings to one and all this holiday season. 🙏🏾

Friday, February 27th was one for the books.

RW Keon Anthony, DDGM gathered the Mighty Fourth District at Green Turtle in Gambrills, MD for a District Meet-Up — and the brothers answered the call.

Heavy.

The fellowship in the room was real. Handshakes, embraces, laughter, meaningful conversations — just good men coming together in unity and purpose. No titles needed, just presence. That’s what makes it powerful.

Salute to the brothers of Charles H. Wesley Lodge, Fairmont Lodge, King’s Solomon Temple Lodge, and Shelton D. Redden Lodge No. 139, PHA for showing up and standing shoulder to shoulder. When we support each other, we strengthen the whole District.

Special appreciation to the sisters of Phoenix Chapter, OES for coming through and adding to the fellowship. Family supporting family — just how it should be.

This is what the Fourth District looks like.
Unity. Visibility. Brotherhood.

We don’t just talk about it — we show up for it.

The brothers showed up and showed out in their favorite jerseys right at the end of the season!
