Some things just take three days… and apparently, we’re in very good company.

Jesus took three days to rise again…
…and it took us three days to resurrect the Dining Hall at National Lodge.

Coincidence? We’ll let you be the judge. 😄

The difference is, instead of rolling away a stone, we rolled on a fresh coat of paint. And while there may not have been angels present, there was Brad from Dodson Painting, wielding rollers like he was on a divine mission.

The result? A space that’s been brought back to life, looking cleaner, brighter, and ready for plenty of fellowship (and probably a few well-earned meals).

Stop by and see the “miracle” for yourself. Just don’t expect it to multiply loaves and fishes… yet.

🐣Happy Easter!

🥳 We are excited to share some important news about the future of our lodge community. After thoughtful discussion and unanimous approval by our leadership, Coventry-Akron Lodge and National Lodge have officially merged, which makes National Lodge No. 568 ever stronger within the 21st Masonic District.

This merger brings together the strengths, traditions, and fellowship of both lodges, creating a stronger, more vibrant organization for all members. You can look forward to:

Expanded programs and events that celebrate our shared values.

Greater resources to support charitable work and community service.

A larger network of members to connect, learn, and grow with.

Our first official gathering as a united lodge will be at our inspection on Tuesday, February 17th, 2026. A chicken dinner will be served, starting at 6:00pm, with the Inspection starting at 7:00pm, in the FellowCraft degree.

Thank you for being an important part of our lodge family. We look forward to building an even brighter future—together.

⌛Waaaaaay back when.....

October 3rd, 1914 to be exact... the Barberton Masonic Temple Company began to sell capital stocks. The first certificate sold was to John F. Briesmaster and was signed by WB O.D. Everhard and the Secretary. Brother Briesmaster purchased 2 shares at $25 each. $25 in 1914 is equivalent in purchasing power to approximately $820 today. That is more per share than Facebook (Meta: $716), Northrop Grumman (NOC: $692), or even Caterpillar (CAT: $657). This shows you how highly engaged, motivated, passionate, and committed Brothers were to the Craft in the turn of the century. Shares may not be worth the same today and people may not be willing to donate or invest that level of money into a Lodge, but make no mistake about it, I can assure you Masonry is still WORTH EVERY PENNY!

Take it from me.... I'm a Treasurer! 👍
