Clergy Notes – April 10th, 2026
Dear Truro family, What a gift to gather with you all – and with so many guests – throughout Holy Week, and to top it all off with a glorious celebration on Easter Sunday. I’m amazed and deeply grateful when I think of all of you who helped in so many ways and gave up so […]
Clergy Notes – March 27th, 2026
Dear Truro family, Beginning this Palm Sunday, we enter the most important week of the year for Christians: Holy Week. I encourage you to be intentional about letting the story of Jesus define your upcoming days and schedules, and to make a priority of gathering with your fellow believers to immerse yourself in Scripture, song, and […]

Dear Truro family, What exactly is a “volunteer” in a church context? Is it just someone who works with kids, or sets up refreshments, or offers to play paint ball with middle schoolers? A volunteer is so much more than that. He or she is a “partner in the gospel”. That’s the phrase Paul uses […]

Clergy Notes – February 27th, 2026
Dear Truro family, This past Tuesday night we began our Lenten teaching series, focusing on “Giving God Our Baggage”. I wanted to summarize the main content of what was shared, in the hopes that this gives you something to think about in this season of preparation for Easter. First, what do we mean by baggage? […]
Clergy Notes – February 20th, 2026
Dear Truro family, Every year we place a major emphasis during Lent on offering opportunities to connect with others and connect with God together. That’s why – between now and Easter – you’ll hear a lot about weekly community night dinners, followed by Leaning Into Lent. I know how busy everyone is in Northern Virginia, so please don’t feel […]
Clergy Notes – February 13th, 2026
Dear Truro family, As we prepare to begin the season of Lent with our Ash Wednesday services at 12:00 P.M. and 7:00 P.M., I thought it would be helpful to share these words of explanation from our Book of Common Prayer (2019), concerning Ash Wednesday. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent: a time of […]
Clergy Notes – February 6th, 2026
Dear Truro family, For many Anglicans, this Sunday is “World Mission Sunday”. We celebrate how the gospel is being proclaimed globally, and we ask God to stir our hearts to pray for all people and all places to hear his good news. On that note, I hope you’re encouraged by the ways Truro supports world missions, […]
Clergy Notes – January 30th, 2026
Dear Truro family, It’s been a cold week here in Northern Virginia, as we’ve been digging out of the snow and ice. I hope that in the midst of the shoveling and scraping (and kids at home!), you’ve been able to find moments of rest. This weekend we get back to “normal” as a church, […]
