Scottish Rite Center, Valley of Columbus

Scottish Rite Center, Valley of Columbus Chartered on October 16, 1923, the Scottish Rite, Valley of Columbus is a nonprofit fraternal organization of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite (A.A.S.R.)

of Freemasonry, Southern Jurisdiction (S.J.), U.S.A. The Scottish Rite Center is the primary facility of the Scottish Rite, Valley of Columbus in Columbus, Georgia and is owned and maintained by the organization's members. In 1932, the Valley of Columbus purchased the original two-story building that dates to the 1880s. In 1954, the Valley purchased an adjoining building and moved the original two

-story building 13 feet forward to make space for a new addition towards the building's rear. The rear portion now houses the auditorium, with stage, the equipment and storage room, the dining room, kitchen, utility room, and restrooms. Two of the upstairs rooms in the old house were remodeled and used in the past for offices and Blue Lodge "Coaching" rooms. Four larger rooms and a smaller room have been left unfinished and used primarily for storage. The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry is commonly known as the Scottish Rite. It is one of the several appendant bodies of the worldwide fraternity known as Freemasonry that a Master Mason can join. Each Valley has up to four Scottish Rite bodies, and each body confers a set of degrees. In the Southern Jurisdiction, these are the Lodge of Perfection (4°–14°), Chapter of Rose Croix (15°–18°), Council of Kadosh (19°–30°), and the Consistory (31°–32°). The Supreme Council confers the 33rd Degree of Sovereign Grand Inspector General. Freemasonry has existed since time immemorial. The Scottish Rite as we know it today developed from so-called High Degrees from France in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The Scottish Rite has a rich and deep history, which has withstood the test of time and continues to perform its good works today. Since its inception in 1801, the Supreme Council of the Ancient & Accepted Scottish Rite has been elevating mankind through its teaching and through its actions.

God sent the Angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. The Angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored!The Lord is with you.” Mary was greatly troubled at his words…But the Angel said to her “Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you will give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his Father David, and he will reign over the House of Jacob forever, his kingdom will never end… “ Luke 1: 26-33

In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the whole Roman world….So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the House and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room in the inn.

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over the flocks at night. An Angel of the Lord appeared to them and the Glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the Angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy for the people. Today, in the town of David, a Savior has been born to you; he is CHRIST, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in clothes and lying in a manger.”

Suddenly, a great company of the Heavenly Host appeared with the Angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the Highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.”

Luke 2: 1-14
