The variety and number of items this Spring is phenomenal. Donations ready for sale for antique and collectible lovers include an over 50-year-old solid wood double-bed frame crafted in Peru by a local woodworker, plus several wooden chairs, trunks, and small tables ready for restoration. Vintage tea sets from around the world, old harness bells, a candle form, and metal bait buckets are here. From kitchenware, dishes & glassware to holiday decor, books, toys, games & puzzles, bed linens and blankets, to small appliances, jewelry, and original art and picture frames — There is something for everyone! (No clothing or computers or TVs, though…)

Doors open promptly at 9 a.m. on Saturday, April 27 (and Sunday at 10 a.m.). Items are priced reasonably, with most half-price on Sunday. An additional sale of any leftovers is planned for Saturday, May 4th, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., where most everything you can fit in a shopping bag will be $2.00 or $3.00, depending on bag size.

We thank the church family and greater community for donating such beautiful treasures. Come and bring a friend to see (and buy) all the unique and interesting items available for you and your home. All proceeds benefit the Church missions, programs, and general fund.

The Peru Community Church is celebrating over 200 years of ministry to Peru and the surrounding areas.

These earliest churches in Peru began in 1802-1811 (Methodist Episcopal) and 1822 (Presbyterian & Congregational). Our new logo re-emphasizes the Faith-Fellowship-Family found here in this faith community. Worship services are on Sundays at 9 am in the historic sanctuary at 12 Elm St, in person and via Zoom. www,perucommunitychurch.com. Office 518-643-8641.
