How Can Eastern Star Benefit Me?
Members strive to live their lives by the enduring beliefs of Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth. The three basic tenets of Masonry, along with the core values of Friendship, Community Service, Diversity, Charity, and Patriotism, much like the lessons you learned in Job’s Daughters and Rainbow. The ritual is some of the most beautiful and meaningful in the Masonic orders. The five degrees of the Order of the Eastern Star are taught by five heroines from the Bible who offer lessons of fidelity, constancy, loyalty, faith and love. Each time you hear an initiation or even the opening charges at a meeting, the lessons take on richer significance and applicability to your life. Your fellowship experience expands to include even more people from the Masonic family. You will be able to gain precious multi‐generational friendships. It’s like having another grandmother or aunt and lots of sisters and brothers to turn to as you mature and face life’s challenges and wonders! We take the words ‘sister’ and ‘brother’ seriously and support each other.
Let’s build something together.
