The Bishop of the Diocese of East Carolina came for a final visit before he retires, and we had a wonderful church service and sermon, and an enjoyable reception following. We had several Confirmations, Receptions, and a Reaffirmation. (See photo below.)
In the Bishop's words:
"This morning, I joined the people of Trinity Episcopal Church in Lumberton for worship that included confirmations, receptions, and a reaffirmation of baptismal vows. It was good to meet their interim pastor, Carl Rosenberg of the ELCA, and to hear from members about the expected impact on Lumberton and Robeson County of the recent federal recognition of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina. A great reception followed worship, with specially made Nanaimo bars for me, and lots of good conversations with members of the congregation.
Many in this congregation have family who are active duty military personnel, including some who are currently serving in the war in Iran. It was clear that people of Trinity are deliberate in caring for one another during this difficult time, and that they are conscious of how deeply their whole county is similarly affected."
