Most Worshipful Grand Master, Right Worshipful Grand Lodge Officers, Distinguished Brethren, family, and friends:

On behalf of myself, Bro. Gregory Fields Jr., and my Brother, Bro. Tony Mitchell, we stand before you tonight with hearts full of gratitude. We are deeply humbled by the honor of being elected and appointed into the Grand Cabinets, and proud to carry the banner of Locust Grove Lodge No. 573 into this great work.

This moment is not just about titles or positions; it is about trust, responsibility, and service. We accept these roles knowing that our charge is greater than ourselves. It is to strengthen our Brotherhood, to uphold the values of Masonry, and to labor in such a way that our impact is felt not only in our lodge halls, but in our communities and in the world around us.

We pledge to put our best foot forward — to be men of action, men of principle, and men of light. Our goal is simple, yet profound: to make a change, to leave an imprint, and to inspire others. We strive to make good men better, and in the process, to better ourselves.

We thank you for your confidence, your encouragement, and your brotherly love. With God’s guidance and with the support of this great fraternity, we will continue to serve faithfully, walk uprightly, and do all within our power to uplift the Craft and humanity.

May our labor honor the legacy of those who came before us, and may our impact echo in the lives of those who come after us.

So mote it be.
