The Cornerstone Connection

From the Worshipful Master

Past Master David C. Berndt

Greetings Brethren,

I hope this month’s newsletter finds you and your families healthy, happy, and thriving. As we enjoy the full bloom of spring and reflect on the recent Easter season of renewal, our Lodge is energized and ready for a rewarding stretch of fellowship, ritual, and community involvement.

We have a busy season ahead of us. Please mark your calendars and make plans to join us for the following events:

🏛️ First Tuesday Study & Fellowship Night

Tuesday, May 5, 2026 | 6:30 p.m.

Join us for our monthly Study and Fellowship night! Whether you are actively progressing through your degree work, looking to polish your ritual, or simply wanting to share some good conversation with your Brothers, our doors are open. Meaningful fellowship is the glue that binds our Lodge together—come be a part of it.

Committee on Work (COW) Forums

A Freemason's education in the ritual is a lifelong journey. I highly encourage all Brethren to attend our area's upcoming Committee on Work Forums.

Note: You do not need to sit for an esoteric certificate exam to attend and benefit from a Forum!

These gatherings are invaluable for sharpening your knowledge of the work, gaining fresh insights, and preserving the purity of our ritual. Here is the upcoming schedule for our area:

• Saturday, May 23: Park Place Lodge (Houston, TX) – Super Forum, no exam

• Saturday, May 30: Northwest Lodge (Spring, TX)

Join Us for Community Awards Night

You are cordially invited to join us for the Rosenberg Masonic Lodge No. 881 Community Awards Night. Since 1903, our Lodge has been committed to making a positive difference in Rosenberg, and this special evening is our opportunity to recognize and honor outstanding excellence within our local community.

Let's come together for an evening of great fellowship, a shared meal, and the celebration of those who truly make an impact. A strong showing from our Brothers demonstrates our continued support and dedication to the community we serve. Please feel free to invite your family and friends—all community members are welcome to attend!

🚨 ALL HANDS ON DECK: June 6th at Rosenberg Lodge! 🚨

Saturday, June 6, 2026

Mark your calendars now! Rosenberg Lodge has the distinct honor of hosting an upcoming COW Forum and Exam.

It is incredibly important that we have a massive turnout from our own membership. Let's pack the Lodge room, showcase our Masonic pride, and prove what excellent hosts we are to the Brethren traveling in from across the area.

I look forward to standing shoulder-to-shoulder with you at these upcoming events as we continue to work together to make Rosenberg Lodge No. 881 the absolute best it can be.

From the Secretary

Past Master Carter R. Sharbrough

Here we grow again! Please join me in welcoming Rosenberg Lodge's newest members! Over the past few months, we have welcomed Brothers Oscar Ochoa, Adrian Martinez, and Lamberto Ortega, Jr. All three Brothers are making excellent additions to our Lodge!
