North Star Lodge #164 F. & A.M PHA- Memphis Tennessee

Repost The MWGM of Alabama and also our SGC of the Southern Jurisdiction. Great things are happening in our great city!

Roses are red, violets are blue, don’t know we were so lucky to get moms like you! It’s no coincidence that “MOM” upside down is “WOW”!!! Have a wonderful Mother’s Day. Brothers we know what to do to put a smile on their faces today.

Rumor has is that North Star 164 has some new Master Masons!

Looking forward to our great jurisdiction witnessing the impressive skills and dedication of our newest brothers. Stay tuned for upcoming events and ceremonies where we all can celebrate their achievement.

We would like to show our forever love and gratitude for our great Past Grand Master & PM Arvin W. Glass and wish him a happy heavenly birthday from his lodge North Star 164!!!

How good and pleasent it is for brethren to dwell together in unity. Brothers we had a great time with Poplar Springs Lodge #148 in Mason, TN! That’s right brothers we traveled to a lodge outside of Memphis in great numbers to the tune of 8 brothers. We were able to aid these brothers in the most sacred act of Raising a brother into this Illustrious Order. We enjoyed refreshment as well. WM Perry and his lodges exhibited what a bright future Prince Hall has in Tennessee.

We are not done traveling to other lodges so please join us next time we travel to a foreign land.

DID YOU KNOW?💡

James C. Penney

Founder of the J. C. Penney Co., Inc., the world's largest department store chain, with more than 1700 stores in all 48 states, doing an annual sales of over one billion dollars. Born Sept. 16, 1875 in Hamilton, Mo.

A graduate of Hamilton (Mo.) High School, he attended in 1949 the Masonic cornerstone laying of a new high school building at Hamilton, for which he and his sister gave more than half of the $250,000 cost. He holds honorary doctorates from eleven colleges and universities. He founded the J. C. Penney Co. in 1902, and is now honorary chairman of the board. Known as "the Golden Rule merchant," he quit using the word "employee," and called each of his 90,000 workers an "associate," giving each a share in the profits in addition to a salary.

After the 1929 stock market crash, Penney lost his fortune, and wound up beaten and despondent, at 56, in a sanitarium, but proved that his method was sound by borrowing money and staging a comeback in which he recouped his fortune. Penney has influenced great numbers of young people through his business operations, Christian youth movements, and by talks, articles, and letters. His own comeback from the depths of financial and mental depression was made possible by a sudden and dramatic rekindling of Christian faith within him.

He received his degrees in Wasatch Lodge No. 1, Salt Lake City, Utah, April 28, May 19, and June 2, 1911. In 1955 he became a dual member of United Services Lodge No. 1118, New York City. He is a member of Utah Chapter No. 1, R.A.M., Utah Council No. 1, R. & S.M., and Utah Commandery No. 1, K.T., all of Salt Lake City. He has contributed generously to the Masonic temple of that city. He received the 32° AASR (SJ) in Utah Consistory No. 1, April 23, 1936, KCCH, Oct. 24, 1941, and 33°, Oct. 16, 1945. He has addressed many Masonic groups. In April, 1958 he was presented the gold distinguished service award by the General Grand Chapter, Royal Arch Masons, at Kansas City, Missouri.

Last Saturday, Feb 24, 2024, was a day filled with compassion and community spirit at the North Star Lodge. We dedicated ourselves to serving those in need at our feeding the homeless event, providing over 50 meals along with essential toiletries and supplies. It's an honor and privilege to give back to our neighborhood, staying true to our principles of faith, hope, and charity. Together, we make a difference! 🌟

You have two hands for two reasons.

1. To help your neighbor

Yesterday evening, as North Star Lodge No. 164, it was an honor to serve the Binghamton Community through our event, North Star Cares. We arranged for a food truck to provide meals for the children and staff of Binghamton Christian Academy, along with games and prizes for the students to enjoy. The food truck, Mr. & Mrs. Smith's Kitchen Food Trailer, run by Sis Tamika Nichols, was exceptional, offering delicious food that delighted everyone. Special thanks to WM Patrice Woodard for the support and to the Noah Boyd Memorial Chapter No. 106 OES PHA for their contributions.

Happy 113th Founders’ Day to the Brothers of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.

Founded on the campus of Indiana University on January 5, 1911, upon Christian principles and the central purpose of achievement.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a joyous holiday season from North Star Lodge No. 164! May the spirit of this special time bring warmth, love, and happiness to you and your loved ones. Happy Holidays!

Your legacy will stand forever. Grand Master Emeritus Arvin Glass. A mentor, brother & friend.

I’m back in full effect with providing quality embroidery service for the Masonic Community both in Memphis and across the globe. You can see my work across the city on some good brothers. So let me take care of the Good Brethren.

October is a very special month. Peace be with you all.

Let’s celebrate the birthday of our RWSGW Greg Evans!!!! Enjoy our brother!

On this day in 1784, a charter was granted to African Lodge No. 1, which later became, and is now known as African Lodge No. 459. This was the first African American Masonic Lodge in the United States, and the foundation of Prince Hall Fremasonry.

Happy 239th Birthday to African Lodge #459 and Prince Hall Masonry!!

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of CHARITY and GOOD will Shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness. For he is truly his brothers keeper and the finder of lost children.
