Dear Truro Family, A regular time of personal prayer and Bible study is vitally important to a vibrant, maturing walk with Jesus.

Dear Truro Family, With Father’s Day this Sunday, a few thoughts for this weekend on fathers – with a two-fold focus… 1. Our Earthly Fathers, and 2. Our Heavenly Father.
