November 2025 Trestleboard

Greetings from the East!
I’m constantly amazed at how quickly time flies when sitting in the East. As the air turns crisp and the leaves give one last burst of color before they fall it becomes apparent that the year is winding down. Drawing inspiration from the harvest, this is the perfect time to look back and be thankful for the work and progress we’ve made in our Lodge, in our families, and within ourselves.

Thanksgiving gives us the perfect opportunity to focus on gratitude, a value cherished among all Masons. Just as the Masons of old gave thanks for the working tools and resources for their craft, we too should be grateful for the tools and resources we’ve been given. Gratitude keeps us humble and reminds us that no Mason builds alone.

In Lodge, we work together not because we share the same background or beliefs, but because we share the bond of brotherly love. As we gather around the table this month with family and friends, let’s show gratitude for the support they also have given us for our work. It’s the values like gratitude that define our fraternity as a whole and us as men individually.

Fraternally and appreciatively,
Stephen Carlson
Worshipful Master
Denver Lodge No.5

October 2025 Trestleboard

Pablo Colomban Events, Master's Message, Trestleboard Tagged

Greetings from the East!

It’s that time of year again! Pumpkins on the porch, decorations in the yard, and half the isles in the supermarket are filled with just candy corn. October is here, and with it comes the spirit of Halloween.

Halloween gives us a chance to pretend, play a role, or temporarily hide who we really are. In a way, the opposite of Masonry where we try to remove any masks and strip away the distractions and false fronts of the world, with the goal of discovering and strengthening who we truly are on the inside.

One aspect of Halloween that does remind me of Masonry is the humble Jack-o’-lantern. A carved-out shell that shines bright with light from within. Maybe a bit of a stretch but perhaps be reminded this month of your Masonic journey as you see them around town.

So please enjoy spending time with Brothers, family, and friends this season. Whether you’re handing out candy, stepping on the crunchy leaves, or just enjoying a hot drink on a cool evening. I hope you’ll take a moment to reflect on your own Masonic path and perhaps make holiday plans with a Brother you haven’t seen in a while.

Fraternally and appreciatively,

Stephen Carlson
Worshipful Master
Denver Lodge No.5
