Clergy Notes – February 21st, 2025
Dear Truro family, A week and a half from now, the season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, March 5. We’ll offer two services that day in the sanctuary at 12:00 P.M. and 7:00 P.M. When we come to days like this (or like Maundy Thursday or Good Friday in April), I encourage you to make […]
Clergy Notes – February 14th, 2025
Dear Truro family, We’re talking a lot about membership this month, in anticipation of: (1) our vestry election that begins this Sunday; (2) our membership lunch on Sun. March 9; (3) our annual church family meeting on Sun. March 16 at 4:00pm; and (4) our bishop’s annual visit on Sun. May 18. The best way to […]

Dear Truro family, One of the things I love about Truro is that we’re a singing church. The Bible is full of exhortations and reasons to sing. Colossians 3:16 always comes to mind: “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly…” “…teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom…” “…singing psalms and hymns and spiritual […]

Dear Truro family, Over the next six weeks, for all who consider Truro their church family, I’d like to ask you to take seriously the following: “Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it!” (1 Corinthians 12:27) Jamie
Clergy Notes – January 24th, 2025
Dear Truro family, One of my favorite questions to ask at our newcomer lunches is what kind of denominational backgrounds are represented in the room, amongst those who grew up in the Church. Inevitably, the answers come from all over the spectrum. I love that! For those who are new to Anglicanism, there are often […]

Dear Truro family, Our search continues for a full-time worship director, as we ask the Lord to bring us his person, in his timing, and in his way. So far, his timing is slower than we imagined when we began searching over two years ago! But finding the right person for this role can’t be […]
Clergy Notes – January 10th, 2025
Dear Truro family, We all awoke this past Monday to a blanket of white snow covering everything in sight. It’s always amazing to see the entire landscape – cars and houses and roads and yards – totally transformed and made new. This is a picture for us of God’s gracious forgiveness and pardon of our […]
Clergy Notes – January 3rd, 2025
Dear Truro family, With a new year comes new pressure to make new improvements, changes, or resolutions in our lives. Stop doing this. Start doing that. Lose this. Become that. And on and on it goes. Until mid-February when things are basically the same way they’ve always been. There’s certainly nothing wrong or unbiblical about […]
Clergy Notes – December 27th, 2024
Dear Truro family, Happy third day of Christmas! It was wonderful celebrating with so many of you this week and meeting the bundles of family and friends you brought to church. I want to encourage those of you who brought someone with you who is not a believer, and who may have seemed totally disinterested […]
