This verse motivates us to allow our inner light to radiate through our actions, thereby bringing honor to God and positively influencing those in our vicinity. Ensure you have a positive experience, prioritize your well-being, and establish meaningful connections. Let us strive for excellence, provide mutual support, and achieve extraordinary milestones as a team. Remember, "Love is What Love Does" Let us not just understand this truth but embody it in all our interactions and endeavors, for it is the foundation of our relationships and the key to our collective success. Warm regards and sincere gratitude, Sister Evon Moss Supreme Grand Worthy Matron Greetings and salutations to the 106th Supreme Grand Council Session! I am delighted and honored to warmly welcome each of you as we convene for this significant event. I am sincerely grateful to the prestigious members of the Supreme Grand Chapter for their contributions to the resounding success of my inaugural year. I am profoundly grateful to each of you for your unwavering support and dedication, which have been instrumental in our accomplishments. As we commence this year's session, let us embody the five Cs of a successful leader: coordination, commitment, communication, and cooperation. These principles are the foundation of our unity and fortitude, propelling us to greater heights and guaranteeing our collective advancement. This year's theme, "Arise, shine; for the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee and thy light has come," is not just a theme, but a compelling call to action. It serves as a powerful reminder of the divine radiance within each of us and the grandeur we are meant to share. In contemplation of this theme, let us draw inspiration from Matthew 5:16 (KJV): "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven." from the Supreme Grand Worthy Matron
