2024 Grand Encampment of Knights Templar Easter Sunrise Service Live from George Washington, Masonic Memorial in Alexandria, Virginia.Make sure to like and subscribe to the channel! Freemasons, make sure you shout out yo...

We're excited to share that you can now find us on Facebook, Instagram, and X (formally known as Twitter)!

While the Order of the Eastern Star, Daughters of the Nile, and Order of the Amaranth are some of the most well-known appendant bodies of Freemasonry open to women, one I don't often hear too much discussion on is the Social Order of the Beauceant. The Social Order of the Beauceant is "an organization of Christian women whose membership is limited to the wives and widows of the Knights Templar," but the order is now open to women who are 18-years of age and who are wives, widows, mothers, sisters, daughters and granddaughters of a Knight Templar. Just as the Nile has a close relationship with Imperial Shrine, the Supreme Assembly works closely with the Grand Encampment of Knights Templar. The Social Order of the Beauceant was founded in Denver, CO, in February of 1890. 🇺🇸

We would like to say THANKS to all who came out and supported our fundraiser.These fundraisers help us continue to serve our community.

The Ancient and Heroic Order of the Gordian Knot is a Masonic organization based upon a legend of Alexander the Great. The rituals surround a curious episode of Alexander and the town of Gordium. The chief lesson of this degree was to demonstrate the inherent unity of all regular Masons regardless of what rite or order they belong to. To be eligible for membership one must be a Master Mason in good standing. To serve as one of the four officers, one must be a Knight Templar of the York Rite or a 32° in the Ancient & Accepted Scottish Rite. 🇺🇸

Time to get ready to celebrate the New Year and there is no better way to do that than light up the night sky.

We are in the tifton mall parking lot in front of TJ. All proceeds raised help the Tifton York Rite Bodies with all their community projects, like out Veterans Lunch, Children Pancakes with Santa and so much more.

Sir Knights,

We hope that this Christmas Eve finds you preparing to share your homes with friends and family during this Christmas holiday .

This time is one of hope and happiness for many, but can be one of loneliness and depression for others. If you know someone who is facing this holiday alone, we hope that you would reach out and open your home to them. After all, our Savior came to us to spread the message of love, and we honor Him by acting out of love for our neighbors, our families, and ourselves.

May your Christmas be full of love and sharing.

Merry Christmas!

"If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears.
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.
For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."

-1 Corinthians 13

The Societas Rosicruciana in Civitatibus Foederatis (SRICF), or Rosicrucian Society in the United States, is an esoteric Christian organization whose history traces back 17th century Germany and the printing of the three Rosicrucian manifestos: Fama Fraternitatis, Confessio Fraternitatis, and The Chymical Wedding of Christian Christian Rosenkreutz. These three documents tell the story of the legendary founder Christian Rosenkreutz, his travels, and the founding of a secret brotherhood. Membership is by invitation only and predicated on regular mainstream Masonic affiliation. From the legend and roots of Rosicrucianism, there is a Christian nature to the order. The SRICF does not constitute just another interesting degree in Freemasonry, to be acquired in the course of ordinary Masonic progress. The Society is the ideal forum for Masons who wish to extend their contemplation of the hidden mysteries of Nature and Science, and to investigate the meaning and symbolism of all that now remains of the wisdom, art, and literature of the Ancient World. 🇺🇸
