Clergy Notes – March 14th, 2025
Dear Truro family, It’s impossible to ignore the high level of uncertainty, anxiety, and change that our country and our region are experiencing right now. Even if you never watch, read, or listen to the news (and God bless you if that’s you!), this current climate of upheaval is often on the top of many […]

Dear Truro family, Our Membership Lunch is coming up next Sunday, March 9 from 12:00 P.M. to 2:00 P.M. We offer this twice a year, as a crash course on the fundamentals of our history, beliefs, ministries, and purpose. We know you’re busy, so we pack in a lot of content. I encourage you to […]

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 […]

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 […]
