Dear Truro Family, One of the things I love most about Truro is that we’re a singing church. We absolutely delight in singing to the Lord together. Quiet songs, loud songs, slow songs, fast songs, old songs, new songs, and everything in between. We enjoy such a rich legacy of robust congregational singing here, and […]

When the not-very-educated disciples suddenly spoke and taught with clarity and power? And with an exuberance that made people think […]
