Palm Sunday Easter Services and Events at the Peru Community Church
The Peru Community Church invites all to worship, pray and study during this holy season of Lent, a time of reflection leading to Easter on April 1.
On Palm Sunday March 25, during the 10:30 AM service, the cantata, “No Greater Love” by John Peterson will be performed by the choir, soloists, with speakers from the Confirmation Class retelling the story of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday through his Crucifixion on Good Friday. Also on March 25th, the annual all-church Palm Sunday Brunch will be served in the Fellowship Center. Enjoy a delicious hot breakfast with family and friends, all-you-can eat and at a modest cost, served between 9 AM and 1 PM. Proceeds benefit church missions.
On Maundy (or Holy) Thursday March 29th, at 6 PM, a special Foot- & Hand- Washing service will be offered in the Chapel located in our Fellowship Center. Recalling Jesus’ last night before his arrest and betrayal, and his giving of the commandment to love one another as He has loved us, Communion will be served.
On Good Friday, March 30th, at 7 PM, St. Augustine’s Roman Catholic Church, 3035 Main St. Peru, will host a Tenebrae service for all in the community to attend.
Easter Sunday, April 1st, offers three jubilant worship services: At 6:30 AM, meet at the Peru Boat Launch, lakeside, on Route 9, for an outdoor sunrise service, followed by light breakfast in the Church Fellowship Center at 13 Elm St. Worship in the church sanctuary will be at 8 AM, and 10:30 AM. The choir will sing the Easter portion of the “No Greater Love” cantata at the 10:30 AM service. An Easter Egg Hunt for children through 5th grade will be held at 9:30 AM at the Fellowship Hall (outdoors, weather permitting).
