Oeuvre D’Art en Exposition - An Afternoon of Music and Art
Trinity Episcopal Church is hosting OEuvre d’Art en Exposition, an afternoon of Art and Music with Mark Andersen.
The Robeson Art Guild is proud to be part of Oeuvre D’Art en Exposition: An Afternoon of Art and Music planned for Saturday, May 16th, at Trinity Episcopal Church. Well-known musician Mark Andersen will premiere his new suite for piano, composed to accompany the artwork on display. The artwork exhibit will include paintings and sculptures from the Robeson Art Guild. The afternoon will be an exciting opportunity to see an eclectic collection of original paintings, pottery, and sculptural works. Refreshments will be available in the Parish Hall following the musical presentation.
The Robeson Art Guild's participation in this special afternoon of art and music is the first under a new program of small, select exhibitions around Robeson County. The program is designed to share with communities outside Lumberton the rich legacy of art created by artists in and around Robeson County.

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."
The annual Blessing of the Animals took place at 5:30 pm on October 1, 2025, in the Bridges-Pruett Memorial Garden. We celebrated St. Francis of Assisi and our animal family. All donations will benefit Robeson County Humane Society.
This year we featured a broad selection of wines from the Spanish region. Proceeds will help fund our RCC nursing program, as well as introduce a new non-profit: Blue Star Families.
