🎉 Happy Charter Day to J. H. Gurley Lodge No. 337! 🎉

Today, June 16, 2026, we proudly celebrate the 155th Anniversary of our Lodge receiving its charter from the Grand Lodge of Texas on June 16, 1871.

For more than a century and a half, generations of Masons have labored under this charter, building a legacy founded upon Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth. We honor the Brethren who came before us and express our gratitude for their dedication, sacrifice, and commitment to our Lodge.

As we celebrate this milestone, may we continue to preserve our traditions, strengthen our fellowship, and ensure that J. H. Gurley Lodge No. 337 remains a shining light for future generations.

Happy 155th Charter Day, Brethren!

Last week, our Past Master, Justin Hancock, dropped 300 Fantastic Teeth kits between China Spring Primary School and Bosqueville Elementary School! It’s truly a pleasure partnering with both of these schools and The Masonic Children and Family Services of Texas in insuring that first graders learn the importance of dental care! 🦷🪥

It is with a heavy heart that we report that our eldest member, Brother Joyce Lester Taylor, laid down his working tools this evening.

Brother Taylor leaves a lasting legacy in both this Lodge and Waco Masonry as a whole. He will be deeply missed, but we will see him again in that Celestial Lodge Above.
