Ainsworth Chapter of Rose Croix No. 1
17th Degree
Knight of the East and West

• Duties of the Degree: To work, to reflect, and to pray. To hope, to trust, and to believe. To teach truths that are hidden in allegories, and concealed by the symbols of Freemasonry.
• Lessons: An army of martyrs have offered up their lives to prove their faith or benefit mankind.
• For refection: Can Masonry teach religion without being a religion? What is the meaning of the vacant chair in the ceremony?

The Portland Valley premiere of the Ainsworth Chapter of Knights Rose Croix Ceremony of Remembrance and Renewal for 2022 will air tonight on our Valley’s YouTube channel. 

Your online viewing attendance is encouraged as we honor our dear departed Scottish Rite Brethren of the preceding year and usher in hope for increasing light in the year to come.

Brethren,

The roll of the workmen has been called, and Worshipful Brother David B. Fambro, 32°, born May 4^th, 1963, at Portland, Oregon, has not answered to his name. He was Initiated on February 23^rd, 1995, Passed on March 30^th, 1995, and Raised to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason on May 19^th, 1995, in Portland Lodge No. 55, A.F.&A.M. of Oregon, he was Invested as Master or Sublime Prince of the Royal Secret of the 32° of the A.&A. Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, S.J., U.S.A., on November 4^th, 1995, in the Oregon Consistory No. 1 of the Portland Valley in the Orient of Oregon. He served as Worshipful Master of Portland Lodge No. 55 in 2000 and served as Wise Master of the Portland Valley’s Ainsworth Chapter of Knights Rose Croix No. 1, from 2002 to 2004. On January 18^th, 2022, the Great Architect of the Universe smiled upon him and taking him by the hand, gently led him to that “house not made with hands, eternal in the Heavens.” There is no death. All that is beautiful and good and true in human life is no more affected by the shadow called death than by the darkness that divides today from tomorrow. In this, our Brother’s hour of victory, we should rejoice that we can see far enough into the future to know that all is well with him. He is but a step-in advance of us and we thank our Creator that we had known and loved him for a while.
