Still feeling the inspiration of our younger congregation after Youth Sunday? We invite you to support their upcoming Appalachia Service Project trip this summer, where they will help repair and clean up a community affected by natural disaster and neighbors in need. You can donate to the trip by selecting the “Appalachian Service Trip (ASP)” Fund on MyNassau:

The per capita assessment for 2025 is $40 per member (Confirmation and above). Per capita represents the denominational costs related to the General Assembly, the Synod of the Northeast, and Presbytery of the Coastlands. The funds are utilized for both mission and administrative expenses. Please consider donating your or your family’s Per Capita assessment to help defray this cost.

Giving statements for 2024 were emailed or mailed on January 11. If you are looking for your statement for tax preparation, check your email, or it is available in My Nassau by clicking on Giving, then My Giving History, then the blue box that says “PDF Tax Statement”.

Thank you to everyone who has helped welcome the new family to Princeton! They are excited for the older child to be in school and for the father to now have two jobs. English tutoring will start soon thanks to a full team of volunteers. Studying for a driver's license has also begun. Please contact the church office if you have a car in good condition you would consider donating early in the summer.

On Sunday, March 30, we will receive the monthly Hunger Offering, a designated special offering dedicated to alleviating hunger in our community and around the world.
