ASCENSION DAY SERVICE BULLETINS
FOR DEMOLAY COMMANDERY, NO. 4, KNIGHTS TEMPLAR
The collection includes three Ascension Day service bulletins (1896, 1897, 1899) for the
DeMolay Commandery, No. 4, Knights Templar, at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, Lynchburg,
Virginia. Traditionally, members of the DeMolay Commandery were invited to participate in
Ascension Day services in the church. Sermons were given by the pastor of the church or by a
member of the Commandery.
The DeMolay Commandery, No. 4, was chartered by the Grand Encampment, Knights
Templar, of Virginia in 1826, as the Lynchburg Encampment. The name was later changed to
DeMolay Encampment until 1856 when the name DeMolay Commandery was used.
