Join Us for Worship This Sunday!
We invite you to join us at Peru Community Church this Sunday for a special morning of worship, community, and celebration!
This Sunday we will officially kick off our “Lifting Our Song: Sustaining Worship for Future Generations” capital campaign as we begin working toward the purchase of a new Allen Organ for our church.
Music has been at the heart of our worship for generations, and we’ll take time to celebrate the ways music has shaped our faith and look toward the future of worship at Peru Community Church.
We are also delighted to welcome a special guest: Rev. Anna Blinn Cole, our United Methodist District Superintendent, will be joining us for worship!
Come be part of this important and exciting moment in the life of our congregation. Come sing. Come worship. Come celebrate. Come help us lift our song into the future!
🎶 Lifting Our Song
Honoring the Past. Supporting the Present. Singing into the Future.

Church Banner Sponsorship Opportunity
The Altar Team is seeking sponsors to help purchase the new Lent/Easter banners shown below and on the task board in the back of the church.
Each banner costs $150 and may be dedicated in honor of or in memory of a loved one. A commem-orative tag is included with each banner, allowing the honored individual's name(s) to be displayed.
These banners are the same high quality as those currently hanging in our sanctuary and will enhance our worship space for years to come.
If you would like to sponsor a banner or have any questions, please contact:
Dee Davis – (518) 569-8085
Dianne Miller – (518) 643-2165
Thank you for considering this meaningful way to beautify our sanctuary while honoring someone special. |
