CROSS AND FLAME (METHODIST CHURCH CROSS) - The Cross and flame is the official symbol of the United Methodist Church since 1968.

The Methodist revival began with a group of men, including John Wesley (1703–1791) and his younger brother Charles (1707–1788), as a movement within the Church of England in the 18th century.  The United Methodist Church was created on April 23, 1968, when The Evangelical United Brethren Church and The Methodist Church united to form a new denomination.

The basic beliefs of The United Methodist Church include:

PYTHIAN SISTERS (PLEF) - The Order of Pythian Sisters, the independent auxiliary of the Knights of Pythias was organized at Warsaw, Indiana on October 22-23, 1888 by a dedicated Knight, Joseph Addison Hill, of Greencastle, Indiana. 

DAUGHTERS OF THE NILE - While there are plenty of activities for Shriners and their wives, there are two organizations tied to the Shrine that are for women only: The Ladies' Oriental Shrine and the Daughters of the Nile. They both support the Shriners Hospitals and promote sociability, and membership in either organization is open to any woman 18 years of age and older who is related to a Shriner or Master Mason by birth, marriage, or adoption.

BROKEN TREE (BROKEN TREE BRANCH) - Since a tree represents Life, a broken tree, or a broken branch, symbolizes death, or more specifically a life cut short. This symbolism is usually used on Gravestones, to signify a break in the family tree, someone who died an untimely or premature death. Usually seen on a younger person's gravestone, an alternate symbol is a Broken Flower Bud, or rose stem.  A broken tree at the trunk usually represents loss of a family patriarch.

DAUGHTERS OF THE CONFEDERACY -  The General Organization of the United Daughters of the Confederacy was founded in Nashville, Tennessee, on September 10, 1894, by Mrs. Caroline Meriwether Goodlett of Tennessee as Founder and Mrs. Lucian H. (Anna Davenport) Raines of Georgia as Co- Founder. The UDC is the outgrowth of numerous ladies’ hospital associations, sewing societies and knitting circles that worked throughout the South during the War Between the States to supply the needs of the soldiers.

DEGREE OF REBEKAH (DAUGHTERS OF REBEKAH) - The Daughters of Rebekah, also known as the Rebekahs and the International Association of Rebekah Assemblies, is an international service-oriented organization and a branch of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.

EASTERN STAR - The Order of the Eastern Star is a Freemasonic appendant body open to both men and women. It was established in 1850 by lawyer and educator Rob Morris, a noted Freemason. The order is based on teachings from the Bible, but is open to people of all religious beliefs. The character-building lessons taught in the Order are stories inspired by Biblical figures:

FORESTERS OF AMERICA (F OF A) - Foresters of America, a fraternal society founded in the US in 1895 and provided life and disability insurance to its members.  Usually contains an eagle, crossed flags, and a deer.  Their motto was Liberty, Unity, Benevolence and Concord.

In 1834 the Royal Foresters formed a Society, the Ancient Order of Foresters (AOF).  The IOF in the United States became independent of the AOF in 1874, and as of 2014 operates a separate UK division, Forester Life, based in South London.
