Message from the Master

Inside

Masonic Wisdom: Silence

Socrates warned against using eloquence to diminish greatness. Words carry power to build or destroy, making silence valuable. Freemasons value listening, thinking, and speaking positively. Gossip and insults breed animosity, but seeking forgiveness can mend harm. Speaking honestly and with good judgment fosters understanding. True greatness lies in speaking after others have had their say.

The Masonic Conspiracy Behind Rolling Rock Beer

The mystery of the “33” on Rolling Rock Beer has sparked various theories, including Masonic connections. However, the truth is less sensational – it was a printer’s mistake. The original slogan was 33 words long, and the printers unintentionally included the number. The ensuing speculation may have bolstered the beer’s popularity. No Masonic link exists.

Upcoming Dates

In October, Unity Lodge has several events including Stated Communication on 10/06, Blue Lodge Ritual Practice on 10/13, 10/20, and 10/27, Unity Lodge Breakfast on 10/30, and more. Additionally, there are events by Luray Commandery #19, Order of the Eastern Star #6, RAC Hiram #45, and others.
