Annual Wine Tasting Event

Thursday, October 16, at 6 pm

Please join us for an evening of fun, food, fellowship, and philanthropy! We will be featuring 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.

You may be surprised to learn that the Lumberton area has 595 active duty service members, with 695 dependents. Blue Star Families is part of a national organization who have recently opened a chapter in the greater Fayetteville area and provides support to the broader community, including those in Lumberton. They provide a positive impact on these families through welcoming events, outdoor recreation programs, and career development resources for spouses. Tate Johnson, their executive director, will be joining us for our potluck event on September 7th to share additional information on the organization.

As always, it takes “many hands” to put together a successful event - including but not limited to selling tickets, greeting guests, decorations/set up, wine servers, food donations, cleanup, etc. We will be reaching out to you in the near future for your assistance - and we thank you in advance for your willingness to serve!

The Cobbler, The Bishop, Their Prince and His Madman

by Doug Berky & Leo Tolstoy

Friday, October 24, 2025, at 7:00 PM at Trinity Episcopal Church, 1202 N. Chestnut St, Lumberton

Free and open to the public.

The Cobbler, The Bishop, Their Prince, and His Madman is a play by Doug Berky that suggests there is truth to the old saying, “Where love is, God is.” As we face these troubled times, when so many leaders have lost faith and forsaken virtue, Berky’s play is a journey to the places where God is at work, where despair becomes hope, where war is defeated by the sowing of compassionate seeds, and where pompous vanity can be dissolved by healing laughter.

The Cobbler, The Bishop, Their Prince, and His Madman is a collection of Leo Tolstoy’s stories adapted for the stage and woven together. In a kind of time travel collaboration, Leo Tolstoy and Doug imagine together a new story by bringing four of Tolstoy’s tales together into a shared narrative.

Writing in pre-revolutionary Russia, Tolstoy was critical of the injustice experienced by the people. Much of his criticism and witticism was directed at the ruling classes, the government, and the institutional church.

In a marriage of artist and material, The Cobbler, The Bishop, Their Prince, and His Madman is a play that reaffirms a way forward. In Doug Berky’s sharply observed, high-spirited staging, light and laughter can be found unexpectedly amid the world’s darkest dilemmas.

“Where love is, God is.” Yes, it’s that simple. Please join us for this thrilling evening of theater in the sanctuary of Trinity Episcopal Church, 1202 N. Chestnut Street in Lumberton, on Friday, October 24th at 7:00 pm.

This performance is free and open to the public! A Love Offering will be gathered.
