Helping the Community with Faith, Charity, and Brotherly Love!

Trestleboard, January 2019 Mountain City Lodge No. 67 - Lexington, Virginia From the East Brethren, Mountain City Lodge continues to provide an excellent fraternal experience for our Brethren.  We are fortunate to have had many great men lead our beloved Lodge over the years.  We will continue to work on our strategic plan and I have asked Secretary Lyons to provide an update at the next Stated.  Several objectives have been completed!  My focus this year is Brotherhood and hope it will be a central part our experience throughout the year. I look forward to seeing everyone at our next Stated Meeting.  Our District Deputy Grand Master Freddy Barnett will be making his official visit.  Rt Worshipful Boatwright will also provide a brief ritual presentation.   “Masonic labor is purely a labor of love. He who seeks to draw Masonic wages in gold and silver will be disappointed. The wages of a Mason are in the dealings with one another; sympathy begets sympathy, kindness begets kindness, helpfulness begets helpfulness, and these are the wages of a Mason.” Benjamin Franklin  Fraternally, Brent W.

Degree Tentative for Ryan McClure set for 7pm, Thursday, January 31 The Pledge of Allegiance I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of  America and to the republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. --- In 1892, the flag inspired James B. Upham and Francis Belliamy to write the Pledge of Allegiance. The original words were: I pledge allegiance to my flag and to the republic for which it stands, one Nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. In the 1920's, "my Flag" was changed to "the Flag of the United States of America." In 1942, the Pledge received official recognition by Congress and was included in the U.S. Flag Code.  In 1954, Congress added the phrase "under God."  Christmas Party & Officer Installation The brethren, family, and friends of Mountain City Lodge No. 67 (Lexington) gathered on Friday, December 8, 2018, at Moody Hall on post at VMI to celebrate Christmas and install our 2019 officers. Worshipful Brent Fellows was installed as Master, Worshipful John Morman was recognized for an outstanding year, and R.W. Warren Schmid received a Certificate of Merit from the Grand Lodge of Virginia A.F. & A.M., presented by M.W. Kerry Campbell, past Grand Master of Masons in Virginia.
