TRURO UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST

 

(Page 5)

 

 

Several expansions, fix-its and remodels were accomplished through the years and in 2006, the church had another special celebration,  the congregation’s 150th anniversary.  They had an all-day event: worship, lunch and an afternoon video presentation on the church’s history and members.  The anniversary project was to raise funds of about $10,000 for a new roof.  They got this done as evidenced by the photo below.  Over the years many members have contributed their gifts and talents to the church, but those gifts of the heart: teaching, comforting, praying for others, even cleaning and organizing – are the ones that follow Christ’s example and keep them a viable entity.
