SWC Lodge pin - New for 2011, $5.00 - This handsome pin is 1" top to bottom, somewhat smaller than the photo at right. Designed to stand out against a dark suit, this pin signals you as a man of distinct taste and a supporter of the great friendship American Masons have with their cousins in the UK. 

SWC Lodge formal white gloves $12.00 - Tastefully embroidered with white thread (tone on tone), the Churchill Lodge Masons' Mark is visible on the top of the hand to the discerning eye. White gloves are a standard accessory for British Masons when properly dressed for lodge in a black suit and long tie, not to be worn with informal dress. A black suit is acceptable in English Constitution lodges worldwide. You may also wear these gloves with formal dress, shaking hands while gloved.

[Did you know? In England, a tuxedo is considered 'semi-formal', while true 'formal' dress would mean either a Morning Suit (tails, a hat, waistcoat, and pinned scarf instead of tie) for events scheduled for morning or afternoon, or Evening Formalwear (tails, a white, dove or black waistcoat, hat and white tie) for events beginning after 3PM. We're not so picky here, but do ask members to wear a black suit for our fall, winter or spring Quarterly meetings.  Guests can adopt this tradition, or come in a suit as best they can.  Our appreciation of a man's visit is more important than what the man wears.  We do think it's wise for a man to have a black suit, in any case, as this versatile outfit is good for meetings, dates, funerals, weddings, and any time you wish to look impressive, like Johnny Cash, who was always cool.]

Emulation Apron, trimmed with light blue. Gently used, from an English Lodge. Any Minnesota Mason may wear this apron, which identifies you as a Mason from an Emulation (English-style ritual) Lodge. This apron shows three light blue rosettes on the front, as is the traditional marking of a Master Mason apron. (Symbolically, each rosette stands for one of the three degrees.) We were honored with the opportunity to buy these from a supportive English lodge, and carry a few in stock. We've worked out a special price from a local cleaner that will ensure they look as good as new. Just contact Mulberry Cleaners in the SW metro area of the Twin Cities and ask for the Churchill Lodge discount. This used Emulation Apron costs $25.00

Emulation Past Master's Apron, trimmed with light blue. Gently used, from an English lodge. Any Minnesota Past Master Mason may wear this apron, which, if in the UK, would identify you as a Past Master from an Emulation (English-style ritual) Lodge. This apron shows the three nickel-plated upside-down "T"s or tau crosses on the front, as is the traditional marking of a Past Master apron. We were honored with the opportunity to buy these from a supportive English lodge, and carry a few in stock. We've worked out a special price from a local cleaner that will ensure they look as good as new. Just contact Mulberry Cleaners in the SW metro area of the Twin Cities and ask for the Churchill Lodge discount. This used Emulation PM Apron costs $25.00

Emulation Past Master's Sash and Jewel, this is a wide collar of light blue satin, decorated with silver thread. It is adorned with the Past Master's Jewel as used in English lodges, called the Square and Problem. Any Minnesota Past Master is eligible to wear this decorative sash as a member of Churchill Lodge. We were honored with the opportunity to buy these from a supportive English lodge and carry a few in stock. We've worked out a special price from a local cleaner that will ensure they look as good as new. Just contact Mulberry Cleaners in the SW metro area of the Twin Cities and ask for the Churchill Lodge discount. This used Emulation Past Master's Sash costs $25.00

Emulation Apron belt extender, 1 and 1/8", in light blue. Perfect for lengthening the short belt that comes standard with our British style aprons. We buy these from J.P. Luther, and have a few in stock. Note, the company also sells a dark blue version that matches our traditional Minnesota dark blue trimmed aprons if you wish to place a special order with them. Ours is Light Blue.$12.00

You may opt to contact one of the supply masters directly at a SWC event to requisition these items, avoiding shipping and handling fees.

Churchill Documents

Each major event - our Consecration, for example - has required its own program and script. For your benefit, here are final copies of those we have produced. These are free for your use, IF you provide attribution and a link to Churchill Lodge. Graphics were almost entirely designed by Bro. Shane Wendt, while the text and language was a joint effort of the lodge officers, especially Wor. Berger, Bro. Wendt, Wor. Gann and MW Jackson.

A note on our choice of songs. These three are used in many British lodges, and we have adopted them here. We are indebted to the Masons of the provinces of Cumberland and Westmorland in the UK for the sheet music we used during our installation. Their website was most helpful.
