We have been blessed to see another year, and with that blessing comes growth. As we continue this journey together, I challenge each of you to remain steadfast and focused. There may be moments when you question your purpose—when you wonder, Why am I here? Why was I chosen for this work? Know that your service is not in vain. There are countless individuals who are uplifted and empowered by the mission and works of our beautiful organization.
My vision is to see our Grand Council continue to flourish—to deepen our service within the community, to expand our collective knowledge, and to further realize the divine purpose that binds us in this sacred house.
The fruits of your labor are evident. Your unwavering commitment shines brightly through your charitable acts—supporting youth through scholarships and partnering with organizations that better our communities. Your efforts do not go unnoticed.
I am truly grateful for each of you. Continue to walk in the grace, dignity, and love that God has so wonderfully instilled in you. You are each a reflection of His splendor.
I leave you with this prayer:
Lord, thank You for the many ways You reveal Your splendor. Your Creation bears witness to Your power and boundless love. In every blade of grass and every hue of a flower, we see the majesty of Your mind at work. Sustain us daily, Lord, and continue shaping us into who You created us to be. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
With love and peace always,
Lady Rebecca El
Grand Chief Counselor
N’Zinga Grand Council of Lady Knights, State of Illinois
