🔹 Neptune Beach Lodge No. 421
Stated Communication | Tuesday, October 20, 2026
Another great evening of Brotherhood, fellowship, and Masonic business at Neptune Beach Lodge No. 421!
🍽️ A Great Meal and a Little Recognition!
Our Junior Warden, Brother Jon Ford, once again prepared an outstanding meal that had everyone well-fed and ready for the evening’s work.
Brother Ford has kept our Brethren fueled with delicious meals throughout the year, and as 2026 begins winding down, so does his time as our Lodge’s Head Chef. I won’t say we’ll miss Brother Ford, because he’s not going anywhere, but we will certainly miss his cooking! Thank you, Brother Ford, for your dedication and for taking such good care of the Brethren all year long!
🔨 A Productive Stated Communication
With Worshipful Master Jay Bell out of town, our Senior Warden, Brother Justin Martineau, assumed the chair in the East and led the Lodge through a well-prepared agenda. Brother Justin did an excellent job keeping the meeting organized, productive, and running smoothly.
We also have several candidates progressing through their Masonic degrees, which means the remainder of 2026 promises to be busy with additional degree work. It is always encouraging to see new Brothers advancing in their Masonic journey and our Lodge continuing to grow.

🔥 Ending the Evening in True Masonic Fashion
With the Florida weather finally giving us a little relief from the heat, the evening concluded with several Brethren gathering around the firepit behind the Lodge.
There is something special about those moments after a meeting when the formal business is finished, the aprons have been put away, and Brothers can simply enjoy each other’s company. Those conversations, laughs, and shared moments are just as important to the strength of our Fraternity as the work we accomplish inside the Lodge.
A busy evening, a productive meeting, and a great finish surrounded by Brothers.
Job well done, my Brothers! Thank you to everyone who continues to give their time, energy, and dedication to making Neptune Beach Lodge No. 421 a place where Masonry and Brotherhood thrive.
Making Good Men Better, One Brother at a Time!
