Clergy Notes – February 17, 2023
Dear Truro Family, Over the next few weeks, you’re going to hear us talk a lot about Tuesday night dinners… First, this Tuesday, February 21 we’ll have our annual pancake dinner. Come anytime between 5–7 PM for all-you-can-eat pancakes, and all-you-can-handle “dad jokes.” Enjoy a relaxed time of food and fellowship, and the long-awaited pancake eating contest! Second, […]

Dear Truro Family, Last weekend, over 50 men from Truro gathered at Graves Mountain Lodge for our first retreat together since before the pandemic! What an incredible time of fellowship, prayer, and ministry we had together. Thank you for your prayers for us! I praise God for how he is restoring and building this church […]
Clergy Notes – February 3rd, 2023
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 […]

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 […]

Dear Truro Family, This coming Sunday, we’ll be resuming our study of the book of Philippians.

There are […]
Clergy Notes – January 6th, 2023
Dear Truro Family, I’ll never forget the time I heard God laugh. I had been praying about something for years and years. And nothing had changed, and nothing had happened. But then one day, something changed. Something happened. And as I was getting off of an elevator, I remarked under my breath: “God, you’re up […]

Dear Truro Family, What a year we’ve experienced as a church, as God has shown his faithfulness to us time and time again. As I think back on these last 12 months, I’m overwhelmed by how God has led us forward, drawn us together, and brought us into a new season. Praise God for his […]
Clergy Notes – December 23rd, 2022
Dear Truro Family, “…Fear not…” (Luke 2:10) These are the first two words that the angels said to the shepherds, on that dark night long ago. Words of peace. Words of comfort. Words of reassurance. And these are the first words that God speaks to you. Into whatever areas of darkness, pain, sin, heartbreak, or […]
Clergy Notes – December 16th, 2022
Dear Truro Family, This coming Sunday is the fourth Sunday of Advent. I hope you’ll join us in-person or online! And if you’re able to be with us in person, remember to keep an eye out for someone you don’t know, and make an effort at starting a conversation. In a church of our size, […]
