Dear Truro family, You may have heard that there’s a bit of snow headed our way… Due to the forecast of heavy snow in Northern Virginia on Sunday morning, here are some important updates: I’m looking forward to seeing some of you tomorrow night!

Dear Truro family, Last week in the Truro News we shared some upcoming dates of various important events in February and March. In case you missed it, I’d like to share those dates with you again.

Dear Truro family, A couple of weeks ago, I wrote to thank you for your financial support in 2025 and to ask you to consider a year-end gift to help us prepare for 2026. I’m glad to report that we ended the year with a surplus of $116,000. Praise God from all blessings flow! This is more than […]

Dear Truro family, Happy New Year! Whatever the last year brought you – whether it was happiness, heartache, or everything in-between – we now look back on 2025 in the rear-view mirror. A new year is upon us, and one day at a time we find ourselves moving along in our lives, and moving on from […]

Clergy Notes – December 19th, 2025
Dear Truro family, Over the last several months, I’ve had a few opportunities to meet with a person who’s seriously exploring the Christian faith. This person is wrestling with the message of the gospel, considering the cost of following Jesus, and asking all the right questions. There are so many encouraging parts of this story that […]

Dear Truro family, I’d like to update you on a few changes/additions to the Truro staff, so that you can be informed about “who’s who”, what’s happening, and how you can be praying. As a congregation, you do such a great job of encouraging and praying for the Truro clergy and staff. To that end: We […]
Clergy Notes – December 5th, 2025
Dear Truro family, During the season of Advent, we so often hear about the themes of waiting, longing, hoping, repenting, and preparing. But how do we do those things? How do we bring the deepest parts of our soul to God when it’s hard, and when it hurts? I can think of few more gifted people […]
Clergy Notes – November 28th, 2025
Dear Truro family, Last weekend, a 2.5 mile long stretch of new toll lanes opened on the beltway. After over three years and $660 million dollars, drivers can now pay a sometimes-huge fee to skip a few miles of waiting in traffic. This is the American dream. We don’t usually like waiting.
