Table Lodge Features renowned speaker

Frontier Lodge celebrated their annual Table Lodge in early December.  This year, they were fortunate enough to have the renowned Masonic speaker, Brent Morris provide the keynote speech! 

Brent is the editor of the Scottish Rite Journal magazine, and author of "Freemasonry for Dummies". 

Brother Morris gave an entertaining presentation on itinerate ritualists during the 1700-1800s.

Frontier was also favored to have one of the Past Grand Masters, MW Richard Massad, joint them as well.  

It was an evening that won't soon be forgotten and again, is another milestone for Frontier Lodge.

Short Talk Program "Sets the Goalpost" for Oklahoma Masonry

As part of his Program, the Grand Master proclaimed that Masonic Education would be part of every lodge's stated meetings.  Frontier Lodge took that a step further by holding the first Short Talk competition in late July.   Nine brothers from the lodge put together papers and presentations lasting from five to fifteen minutes and presented it to the attendees.  It was one of the largest turnouts we have had in lodge in quite some time.  We were also honored to have Brother Bob Davis stop by.

The presentations ranged from humorous to deeply philisophical (ask brother Brad about broccoli and cake).   The overall winner was our Senior Warden, Chris Forster, who did a wonderful and entertaining presentation on the bee hive.

Thanks to our secretary, Bro Robert Cook, for thinking of this and to all the brothers who participated.    This truly was a unique way to keep the craft interested and inquisitive on the sidelines !



 

Jack Shanklin recognized by members of Frontier Lodge

Worshipful Master Mike Branson, Right Worshipful Brad Rickelman,Tom Warren and Right Worshipful Steve Singleton (not pictured) accompanied Jack Shanklin to the Grand Lodge in Guthrie to unveil the honor stone purchased by the lodge in his behalf. 

The stone commemorates all the time and energy Jack has devoted to making Frontier Lodge what it is today.   His work with EAs, FCs, and MMs helped keep our degree progression moving and bring new brothers to work in the lodge.  It was an honor well-deserved.

In the national press -

        Freemasonry is the "topic du jeur" of today's press.  Because of books like Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code and Hollywood movies such as National Treasure, there is a renewed interest in the craft.  You can also find lots of information on the internet.  But take heed ! You can't always believe everything you read, so follow up with research. 

         If you have a question or concern, ASK A MASON.  You will get an honest answer to your question.  You can also read "Masonry for Dummies", "Idiots Guide to Masonry", or "Everything about Freemasonry".  These are all available at public libraries and bookstores.
