Fresco Ministry
Rumple is pleased to announce the installation of two of Ben Long’s frescoes. One is a depiction of the 23rd Psalm, while the other depicts The Good Shepherd.
Commissioned by Mabel Stowe Query in 2006 for a hospice center in Mt. Pleasant, SC, these frescoes were completed in 2009. In 2022, Rumple attained these frescoes, storing them until we could properly display them.
On Sunday, February 16, 2025, Rumple will celebrate the start of our Fresco Ministry with a special worship service, a rededication of the two Ben Long Frescoes now installed at Rumple, and with a joyful time of fellowship immediately following the dedication. The Gathering Space will be open until 3:00 p.m. for the public to come and view the frescoes. A reception will immediately follow worship next door at the Blowing Rock Art History Museum. All are welcome.
Please check back here in the Spring to find out more about the days and times for docent guided tours and viewing.
