order of the easter start chapter #392

Welcome to the home page of the Order of the Eastern Star Chapter #392. Our organization meets at the Masonic Temple located on the square in Gettysburg, PA. This local Chapter was Constituted on October 27, 1924, and has been striving to make a difference in the community ever since.  

The Eastern Star is a social order comprised of persons with spiritual values, but it is not a religion.  Its appeal rests in the true beauty of the refreshing and character-building lessons that are so sincerely portrayed in its ritualistic work.  A deep fraternal bond exists between its members.  It is the wholesome relationship of sisterly and brotherly love brought about through high principles exemplified in our lives which makes us near and dear to each other.

The stated purposes of the organization are:  Charitable, Educational, Fraternal and Scientific; but there is much more to it than that.  Dr. Rob Morris, the Poet Laureate of Masonry, founded the Order using the beautiful and inspiring Biblical examples of heroic conduct and moral values.  These portray the noble principles which should adorn the personal lives of Eastern Star members.  Eastern Star strives to take good people and through uplifting and elevating associations of love and service, and through precept and example build an Order which is truly dedicated to charity, truth and loving kindness.

Order of the Eastern Star meets at 7:00PM on the 1st Wednesday of each month at 9 Lincoln Square, Gettysburg PA.
