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 take the next step towards membership is by visiting this page or emailing Daria Brown.
You may wonder: Why all this talk about membership? The short answer is: because the Bible teaches believers that we ARE members of the body of Christ. Membership in the Church is a reality – not a choice – for the believer. And on that note, Truro is not some kind of faith-based club. Truro is part of the “one holy, catholic (meaning “universal”) and apostolic Church” of Jesus Christ. There are plenty of good and well-meaning groups to which you can belong. But there is only one Church! So I encourage you, if you’re not already, to take membership in this local church seriously, prayerfully, and joyfully. You matter to God and you matter to us.
Your brother,
Jamie
