Clergy Notes – September 5th, 2025
Dear Truro family, It’s hard to believe that it’s been two years since we launched our first church plant since 2001: Trinity Church, Burke. Sunday, August 27, 2023 was a day of celebration and tears as we commissioned and sent off 50 Truro members to follow the leading of the Lord. I asked Mike Seawright (Trinity’s church planting […]

Dear Truro family, Towards the end of his letter to the early church in Colossae, the Apostle Paul gave them this word of instruction regarding how to behave towards those outside of the Church. “Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time.

Dear Truro family, I’m delighted to share the news that Dr. Ryan Shelton will soon be joining the Truro staff as our Director of Worship.

Dear Truro family, Beginning next Wednesday, I’m looking forward to getting some time away with my family to rest and recharge, and I’d be grateful for your prayers for us while we’re gone.

Clergy Notes – July 18th, 2025
Dear Truro family, Never underestimate the incredible power of reaching out to someone when they just “happen” to come to your mind.
