The members of Session extend heartfelt thanks to all who have submitted their financial pledge for 2026. Once again, the generous response of our congregation has been remarkable. Every gift and pledge is important to the ongoing ministry of Nassau Church, and there is still time to participate. Pledges may be submitted to the church office by mail, through My Nassau, or by emailing Linda Gilmore.

As the year draws to a close, we also invite you to include Nassau in your year-end giving. Your support extends the church’s reach through our many mission and outreach partners—thank you for helping us share Christ’s love near and far.

Give online using the link provided or by using Church Life on your phone. Checks can be mailed to 61 Nassau Street, Princeton, NJ 08542, dropped off in the drop box near the base of the ramp by the parking lot or placed in the offering plates on Sunday morning.

To donate to a specific fund, use the drop-down menu.

On Sunday, December 28, we will receive the monthly Hunger Offering, a designated special offering for alleviating hunger in our community and around the world. The Mission & Outreach Committee partners with the following recipients of the hunger offering: HomeFront, Presbyterian Hunger Program, Send Hunger Packing Princeton, Trenton Area Soup Kitchen, and Uniting Reformed Church in Stellenbosch, South Africa. In November, the congregation gave $12,766, a remarkable outpouring of generosity that will strengthen our shared ministry with these partners. Thank you for your faithful giving as we work together until all are fed.

The Refugee Resettlement Coordinating Team is looking for volunteer drivers. Although our family now has a car, we still have weekday driving needs while the father is at work—taking the mother to pick up the three-year-old from a local nursery school on weekdays and occasional trips to medical appointments. Whether you are available on a regular basis, or only occasionally, we would appreciate any help you can provide.

The conference room gallery hosts work by artists who have recently experienced homelessness or deep hardship. Many are self-taught and found their creative voice through the therapeutic program at ArtSpace. Themes of self, community, home, and belonging reflect the resilience of HomeFront families and the power of accessible arts programming. Learn more at homefrontnj.org.
