The Peru Gazette

The Peru Community Church invites all to worship, pray and study during this holy season of Lent, which began on Ash Wednesday on March 1 and concludes Easter Sunday on April 16.

The Reverend Peggi Eller, Pastor, will be preaching each Sunday in Lent about the churches in the Book of Revelation, and how Jesus’ message then relates to the church today. Worship services are held each Sunday at 8 AM and 10:30 AM in the sanctuary in the stone building at the corner of Elm and Pleasant Streets in Peru. Both services include a Children’s Sermon, and childcare is available for those 2nd grade and under. Coffee hours follow each service.

Sunday School for pre-school through adult is held each Sunday at 9:15 AM in the Fellowship Center. The Adult Lenten study is called ‘The Jesus Fatwah’ – a 5-week study presented on video by Islamic and Christian scholars providing reliable information about what Muslims believe, how they live out their faith, and how we all can be about building relationships across the lines of faith. Discussion led by Pastor Peggi follows each video clip, and is held in the Chapel in the Fellowship Center.

During Lent, Communion will be served every Sunday at the 8 AM service, and, at the 10:30 AM service, on the first Sunday of each month. A service of Communion and Prayer is also offered each Friday morning at 8 AM in the Fellowship Center as 13 Elm Street – across from the sanctuary.

The Peru Community Church welcomes all to worship. Questions? Please contact the church office / Pastor Peggi Eller at 518-643-8641. Our website is www.perucommunitychurch.com.
