Monday, December 9^th – MM Degree

Greetings from the East,

I hope this finds all of you doing well.

Please continue to remember all those on our prayer list. We lost Brother Glenn Greer this month as he passed to the lodge above. He will be truly missed and our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

At our November meeting we received a report on the joint Boston Butt sale. This was a very successful venture and I want to thank all of you for your support. From Butt sales to getting them prepared and cooked to getting them handed out this was a great effort by all.

We will be having our annual ladies and awards night on Friday November 8th and all are invited to come out and enjoy an evening of fellowship.

Our annual officer election was held and your current elected officers were elected to serve for another year. I want to thank the lodge for allowing me to serve another year, however, the need to have officers serve multiple years highlights our lack of new members and participation. We are still in need for several appointed positions and welcome any willing to serve. If we want to preserve Cayce Lodge for future generations each of us need to look at how we can work to achieve this.

We will have an open installation at the December meeting so plan now to come out and support your officers.

Unfortunately due to lack of participants we have canceled our E Tournament. We will look at this again for next year and try to drum up more participation.

In closing I want to leave you with this thought, in Proverbs 17:17 Solomon writes “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity”.

Going thru adversity together is what binds as brothers.

My God keep and bless each of us.

Mark Pridgen, PM, WM 

Greetings from the West!

I hope everyone enjoyed a fun-filled Halloween! If you’ve got leftover candy, bring it along to our Ladies’ Night on November 8th—we’d love to see you there! Word has it that the event planners have a few surprises up their sleeves, so come ready for a great time.

A quick update on our Esports tournament: it’s been canceled due to low participation. But don’t worry! We’re considering giving it another go in the future. In the meantime, we’ll be transforming the event website into our new Cayce Lodge 384 site—stay tuned for the launch!

Mark your calendars for December 9th as we gather for a Master Mason degree. Dust off those aprons and come support our brothers as they take their third degree.

Lastly, we’ll be hosting open installations at our next business meeting on December 2nd. Friends and family are welcome to join us in celebrating and supporting our Lodge officers.

Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Until next time,

Dustan Eberhardt, SW

Greetings from the South

Cayce Family,   I greet you all, hope that you’re doing well. 

Cayce 384 had their business meeting Monday November 4th with the annual election of officers. All current officers stayed in their current positions for the ensuing year. I once again am honored to be your Junior Warden for 2025. 

I hope to see you at the Annual Cayce ladies and awards night this Friday November 8^th. 

I hope that the remainder of the year will be a blessed two months for you. Have a wonderful and happy Thanksgiving. 

God Bless you all.

Fraternally,

John Howell, PM, JW                   

Thanksgiving

Oh, Lord, now this we’re thankful for:

 The good things life has held in store;

 The love of those within our home,

 And friends to greet wherever we roam;

 The health and strength wherewith to toil,

 The bounteous food from freedom’s soil;

 We thank Thee for the right to pray

 And worship Thee in our own way;

 To live within a land that’s free;

 For this, dear Lord, our thanks to Thee;

 And through these blessings, one by one,

 May Thy will, Lord, on earth be done!

 Cayce Lodge offers deepest sympathy to the family of brother Glenn Greer, especially his widow Toni, his sons and members of Cayce Lodge - Chris Greer, PM, Darren Greer, Colby Greer, and friends Charlie Brown and Charlie Dunlap, PM in his passing to the celestial lodge above.

PRAYER LIST:

The United States of America

The victims of recent Hurricanes and those supporting the recovery efforts.

 All the Troops, the Police and Firefighters, First Responders and all others who help protect and serve us, also all the Doctors and Nurses and others on the front lines.
