The Shepheard's Tavern Society is a chance for Scottish Rite Masons & their friends to enjoy the company and fellowship of Masonry. We are pleased to invite you to enjoy a libation with us as your schedule allows. The next meeting will be on August 24th from 4:30 pm to 7 pm. |
One Day Reunion August 27 |
Our One-Day Summer reunion will be here in just a few days. This special class will honor Ivan L. Johnson 32° KCCH and Richard J. Noyce, 32° KCCH, two outstanding Scottish Rite Masons. It will be held on Saturday, August 27th.
We call our degree conferrals "Reunions" because the brethren come together to share the special lessons of the Scottish Rite degrees with a new class of candidates. As we meet to witness and perform these degrees, the teachings of the Scottish Rite are exemplified to our new brothers and reinforced in us anew. Consider joining us for all or part of the day.
The reunion will feature 8 of the Scottish Rite degrees (4th, 6th, 13th, 14th, 18th, 23rd, 30th, and 32nd). These are some great degrees with excellent lessons. The 6th reminds us not to be too quick with our judgment, the 13th discovers the lost word of the Symbolic Lodge, and the 32nd recaps the entire Scottish Rite story. By having 8 Degrees portrayed we should give our new members a good taste of Scottish Rite and yet still allow them to complete their Scottish Rite journey in one day. The degree work will take place in the Blue Lodge Room and Tapestry Room since those spaces are air conditioned. The dress code for the day is business casual, polo or dress shirt and slacks. Coat and tie is not necessary.
We will be receiving petitions throughout the month of August and will have final balloting on August 24th. Should you need a petition, please contact the office or download one at www.dmscottishrite.org. |

Schedule Update |
The quarterly meeting and elections for the Des Moines Consistory and Council of Kadosh will be held on Wednesday, September 7th. In addition to the quarterly meeting, there will be a special University of Freemasonry program on the Scottish Rite versions of the Symbolic Lodge degrees. These degrees were written in the 1870's by Albert Pike and were meant to supplement the teachings in the craft degrees. They utilize symbolism, lectures, and ceremonies from early French, Scottish, English, and German sources. One of the characters featured in these degrees is the "Terrible Brother" come join us to learn more about him and others.
The evening will begin at 6:30 pm with dinner ($8) followed by the quarterly meeting and University of Freemasonry program at 7:30 pm. This event is for Scottish Rite Masons only. Please RSVP for dinner,rsvp@dmscottishrite.org or 515-288-8927. |
