The Master's Challenge - Friendship Masonic Lodge No. 160 A.F. & A.M.

Whether to commemorate an occasion, celebrate a Master’s success or hopes for his year, or just because they are cool and trendy, challenge coins have become very popular in Masonry over the past decade. Most coins are given out at a particular event, on special occasions, or can be bought as a fundraiser for a Lodge.

But there are some that can only be earned.

Keeping the Master’s Challenge alive in Friendship Masonic Lodge, I’ve set a new challenge for 2020. One of my focuses as Master will be on ritual work, and in light of that, my challenge will also be focused on ritual.

Any non-Friendship member who successfully takes on a part in one of our degrees (Senior Deacon and above) will receive a challenge coin. This includes lectures, charges, and parts in the Master Mason’s 2nd section.

Any Friendship member who successfully participates in another Lodge’s degree at Senior Deacon and above will receive a coin not only for themselves, but for the Worshipful Master who invited them.
