Educational opportunities:

As reported by SW Ernie Walker at the March 2026 Regular Communication, the Master Craftsman Online College (MCOC) has released a suite of 5 courses focused on the Fraternity's connection with the founding of the U.S.A. Although this series is specifically associated with the Scottish Rite Southern Jurisdiction, the courses are open to all Master Masons. For more information or to enroll, visit https://www.mastercraftsmancollege.org. 

Visit the Michigan Masons web site to enjoy some of the highlights of the past history of Freemasonry in the state of Michigan, and anticipate the celebrations planned for 2026, our 200th year!

Also note that during 2026, Coloma Lodge will be ramping up to celebrate our 162nd anniversary in 2027. (Get it? Lodge #162 will be 162 years old) Current thinking is to hold the primary celebration on June 11, 2027 (162nd day of 2027). Representatives from Grand Lodge will be invited to rededicate the Lodge.
