Dear Truro family, The Bible is full of amazing descriptions of what it means to be the people of God. A “spiritual house… a holy priesthood” (1 Peter 2:5).

Dear Truro family, What a wonderful Pentecost we just celebrated. In our services we heard the gospel proclaimed in all sorts of languages to all sorts of people – and then we saw that happening with our very eyes at our International Festival.
