Through the month of February
“God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God.” (1 John 4:16). Love takes many forms. In addition to food donations, you are invited to:
- Make a financial gift designated to Arm In Arm
- Volunteer at the pantry or mobile food distributions
Each gift—of resources or time—helps ensure our neighbors have food and support when they need it most.
| | Donations received online through MyNassau, or at arminarm.org/donate (noting Nassau) will be DOUBLED thanks to the generosity of a faithful group of NPC members. | | Mission Spotlight - PC(USA) Office of Public Witness | | |
Did you know that the PC(USA), has an office dedicated to witnessing to our faith in the public sphere? The Office of Public Witness (OPW) leads collective action and advocacy on Capitol Hill and all over the country - to paraphrase a hymn, using the “faith we’ve found to reshape the world around.” Recent efforts have included a national film study on the eviction crisis and a walkout in solidarity with immigrant and refugee neighbors.
Nassau is proud to support the OPW’s work and witness, and we are excited that on April 19, in partnership with Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church, Rev. Jimmie Hawkins of OPW will join us for an educational event after worship. Stay tuned for more details!
You can learn more about this denominational effort on their website where you can also sign up to receive action alerts as part of their mobilization efforts.
