The Grand Lodge shared that there is a Rituals tile on the Grand View website. Here you can indicate which parts in the degrees you are able to assist with. You can even indicate how far you’re willing to travel to help. This is meant to help lodges that may need help from time to time with a part in a degree.
Registration for Grand Lodge, June 18-20, in Oacoma, is open.
Next for the ceiling is to get a plan around for the replacement tiles.
More RSVPs were obtained for the Banquet. The menu and program were discussed.
Galen’s sister donated around 1,000 Easter eggs from Walmart.

2026 Banquet

Not Just a Man. A Mason.

 

How Do I Join?

Freemasonry is available to men of good character who believe in a Supreme Being. We are closed to avowed atheists and agnostics. There are no restrictions relating to race, creed, or religion.
To begin, contact a Mason by telephone, by e-mail, or in person. He will be happy to answer your questions, or refer you to someone who can.
If you decide that Masonry is right for you, the next step is to request a Petition for Degrees of Masonry, which will ask for some basic information, such as your name, age, occupation, and place of residence.
Your sponsor will present your petition to the Lodge, which will consider your request. When your petition is accepted, you will face a three-step initiation. Each step opens doors to new knowledge and deeper understanding.
These initiation rites are solemn and wholesome, intended to convey basic moral truths and principles of morality that are accepted by good men everywhere: the Golden Rule, tolerance, gratitude to the Almighty for His many blessings, love of and respect for one’s family, charity towards all men, and patriotism. Upon taking part in the the first step, called the Entered Apprentice degree, you will advance to the second degree, known as the Fellowcraft, and, ultimately, raised to the Master Mason degree.
