Morning Star Lodge 795. Next Stated Meeting is Monday, April 1 at 10 AM in Burkhardt Auditorium. We are planning for the Master Mason Degree to raise a new Master Mason. This meeting will be important. We have brethren for most of the speaking parts. We still need a couple of parts and backups. We also need the Craft. When Morning Star first began, the Craft proudly called themselves the Rolling Craft because although many were in scooters, wheelchairs, or used walkers, they did not let that stop them. We also prided ourselves in that we could fill all the degree parts from within the lodge. Time to bring that back and get all involved again. If you have done a part or would like to learn a part, please let the Lodge know. In the past, we have also sung four verses of the Masonic Ode. If you enjoy singing, join us and sing as the Craft circumambulates the room. Looking forward to seeing you at one of the inspections and at our next stated.

Our next stated meeting is Monday, July 1, at 10AM in Burkhardt. The dress for the meeting is business casual. To celebrate the birth of our nation, patriotic dress is encouraged. This modifies business casual to include t-shirts that are patriotic. Patriotic wear for this will include shirts that honor our Armed Forces, Law Enforcement. Fire Fighters, First Responders, as well as the normal patriotic clothing. Remember, even though this is an election year, clothing of a political nature is not to be worn in the lodge room. The education program will be WB Tim Reuber from Mt Olivet Lodge presenting a program on beekeeping. He gave one to us when we were at New Carlisle during Covid. Members of the lodge have requested he do it again. It is well worth seeing.

Please think upon in what way, you can brighten the Light of Freemasonry. It does not have to be as an officer. Look deeply at your joys and talents and see how they can further freemasonry – then make it so.

We will take the first 10 minutes to hold a short Lodge of Sorrows for those we have lost this year to death. I firmly believe that the last duty of an outgoing master and officer line is to honor those lost on their watch in such a manner. After which the lodge will be turned over to the installing officer. WB Magill has asked MWB Paul Weglage to be installing officer for installation. Please all officers for 2024-2025 plain on attending and being installed even if you are continuing in your office.
