Clergy Notes – April 28th, 2023
Dear Truro Family, As I shared in my Rector’s Report to you last month: “I believe that God desires to restore Truro to a strong, vibrant, healthy, normal local church that does ministry with excellence, simplicity, and scalability.

Dear Truro Family, This past Wednesday, your wardens and I met with some of the folks involved in “City Centre West”, a major development project which will likely begin construction right across the street from Truro sometime in the first part of 2024. The now-empty bank and the now-abandoned (and fire damaged) falafel/kabob restaurant will […]

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, This Sunday we begin our journey through Holy Week. I invite you to make a priority of joining in corporate worship with the people of God over the coming days. Hear the Scriptures, pray the prayers, sit in the silence, sing the songs, and let the good news of the gospel wash […]
Clergy Notes – March 24th, 2023
Dear Truro Family, A few years ago – and only for a few months – I started wearing an Apple Watch. From the moment I woke up to the moment I went to bed, I had that thing on my wrist, tracking my every movement. At the end of every day, it prepared a report […]

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.

Clergy Notes – February 24th, 2023
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 […]
