Clergy Notes – March 17th, 2023
Dear Truro Family, I hope to see you all this Sunday at one of our worship services, and also at our annual meeting at 9 AM in the Sanctuary.

Clergy Notes – March 10th, 2023
Dear Truro Family, This past Sunday, as we finished our study of Paul’s letter to the Philippians, I shared the following “charge” with you all. 1. Stand firm on the gospel of Jesus Christ. Never depart from this precious gospel. Never subtract from it. Never add to it. Never grow tired of it. Never move […]

Dear Truro Family, Ever since and Mike and Jenny Seawright moved to Northern Virginia (over 8 years ago!), they have felt a call from God to plant a church in Burke. They love Burke. They live there, run the trails there, their boys go to school there, and God has continued to plant their roots […]

Dear Truro Family, A few mornings ago, we were all greeted by a surprising sight: snow! While we slept, a whopping .4 inches fell. The Washington Post jokingly referred to it as “Dustzilla 2023.” Just enough to make it look like winter, barely enough to register on the scale, and not enough to last through the […]
Clergy Notes – January 27th, 2023
Dear Truro Family, One of the encouraging things I continue to hear at our monthly newcomers’ lunches is that Truro “feels like home,” or “feels like a family,” when people join us here on Sundays. I praise God for his tangible presence in our midst, and for how you all make such a priority of reaching out […]
