Dear Brethren,
Master Mason Degrees
Brothers Brandon Wood and Paul Williams
Time. There never seems to be enough of it. April is already a memory. What a good month it was. I really enjoyed giving my lecture on the
Pillars; the Bromwell Discussion group continues to draw good attendance and conversation; WB:. Ben Williams’ presentation on the Masonic
Letter G was excellent; Bro:. Brandon’s presentation on the Magic Flute
premiered an educational musical segment we hope to have on our agenda
each meeting going forward; and we hosted breakfast for the Northern
Colo. Zone Meeting. Time can be found for those things of importance.
Keeping with the theme of time, we are looking forward to performing
two Master Mason degrees before we go dark. The Master Mason Degree
is the highest level of honor we have and can participate in. As I study
for this degree, the beauty of the words are made more present. The time
that I am taking is not only preparing me for the degree, but also bringing
me to that place where knowledge and understanding meet. Our practices are equally important, so I encourage all who are participating in the
degrees, to make a strong committment to come. It is a fact that Garfield’s
degree work is known for being well done.
Looking ahead in May, we will be having a Fellowcraft proficiency,
Fellowcraft papers presented, the MM Degree practices, and the actual
Degree work . While we, technically, will be dark in June, July and August,
we will be making plans for summer activities, such as our St Johns Day
picnic, and our Charity Yard Sales. The May Bromwell Group will be
posponed because of the Degree work.but will meet on the 3rd Wednesday of June and August.
I thank you my brothers for making this shared Masonic journey an
experience none of us will ever forget.
Our Lodge continues to strenghten and grow.
Fraternally,
Bill Deaver, WM, Garfield Lodge No. 50

“ Remember now thy creator in the days of thy youth while the evil days come
naught, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say I have no pleasure in them:
while the sun, or the moom, or the stars be not darkened, nor the clouds return
after the rain... And he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of music shall be brought low... For ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken at the fountain, or the wheel at the cistern... Then shall the
dust return to the earth as it was; and the spirit will return to God who gave it.”
Bromwell Discussion Group
postponed until June 17th

Masonically that one can expose oneself to,

Geometry and Symbolry is a compelling and
sometimes astonishing book.
When read and discussed in a group
it is a very fulfilling night.
