    Sarah Hamlett

    Trustee

    Sarah Hamlett has been a member of the Peru church community for nearly a decade, with her wedding in the church marking the beginning of a deep and enduring connection to the congregation. In 2022, she joined the Board of Trustees, serving with heartfelt dedication and a strong appreciation for the church’s role in the mountain community. Sarah is often accompanied by one of her beloved rescue dogs, including Fergus, a familiar face on Sunday mornings and after-service refreshments. Outside of church, Sarah finds peace and joy in the rhythm of the seasons, especially while hiking or snowshoeing with her husband and dogs along the beautiful trails and quiet woods of Peru.
