Lodge Scroll Framing  on 07/19/2023

Brethren,

I'm glad to send the news that our lodge scrolls our now framed and at the Lodge! See attached photos.

Some of you may know based on prior minutes and some may not; Bro Terry Parker found these in the top of a building in Four Oaks in what is believed to be the old Four Oaks Mason Lodge. We dated these at over 100 years old. The Lodge voted to preserve these and have them framed, a cost volunteered to be donated by Bro Terry Parker himself. Bro Grover Dees and myself also decided to split the costs with Bro Terry after we got an estimate higher than anticipated. 

The framed scrolls are on the back table in the dining hall. We'll be working to decide where to hand these on display for all to see. Many thanks to Arthur and Art Watkins at Watkins frame shop for the quality work!

Sincerely 

Wil Wynn

Fellowship Lodge Revival  on 03/05/2023
As we contemplate the glorious works of creation on this day of rest, many of us are inspired by the wonderful presentation by Brother Matt Parker on Thursday. There’s a masonic revival brewing in the lodge. We discussed egos and the many masks we wear in our everyday lives. However, the question still remains; who are we?
A visiting brother, looking to affiliate, sent the following message to the master after the meeting: Brother Matt, Thank you for last night. It was one of the best lodge meetings I’ve had the privilege to attend in a very long time. Ego and the false self were not new to me but its application to Freemasonry was great. FYI: I am a pure contemplative, monastic, monotheist which makes freemasonry great for me. I love symbology which makes freemasonry great for me. I use and diffuse essential oils, especially frankincense, so the fragrance in the lodge proper is very inviting. The highlight of my spiritual life was spending a week at a monastery in Kentucky living in complete silence; except when chanting the daily psalms during the 7 canonical hours. Silence is powerful! So ask me, who comes here?” The answer is a simple THEIST always looking for more light. Again, thank you for last night.
If you’re a brother who hasn’t been to the lodge in a while, your presence is always welcome. As a reminder, it is we the brethren that make the lodge.
