Masonic Education and reading of application(s)
*** Please note the change in order of #3 and #4 to allow for the second degree to happen before the symbolism lecture.
Jephtha Lodge’s In-house Masonic Education Course will be taught by W:. Robert Previto, with four guest lectures from informed Past Masters. It will take place on the first Monday of each month, starting Jan. 4, 2016, for six sessions at our Masonic Temple. Each class will start promptly at 8:00 p.m., and run an estimated 1.5 to 2 hours. There is no fee, no testing, and no grades. Dress and ambiance is casual. The purpose of the class is to school Jephtha Brothers in the deeper meaning and details of Masonic culture, protocol, and symbolism, with particular emphasis on how Jephtha runs its own Lodge and maintains its Temple, so that as our Brothers grow into their roles as Officers or side-liners, they will be better prepared in all the aspects of running our Masonic Lodge.
