Dear Truro Family, Who are you bringing to church this weekend? That neighbor who might be open to sitting next to you on Sunday?

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 […]
