To view the schedule of events at Nassau Church, please visit the website calendar: | | Confirmation Sunday Worship | | 10:00 AM - Worship, PTS Chapel, Livestream & In-Person | | Note for Confirmation Sunday Worship May 18th | | We are celebrating Confirmation at our 10:00 AM service of worship at the Seminary Chapel this Sunday. Pews will be reserved in the front section of the chapel for confirmands, advisors, and families. Overflow seating will be available on the second floor of Scheide Hall in the Gambrell Room. Worship participation will be by livestream. With the expectation of a larger congregation and the overflow, some may choose to enjoy and participate in worship by livestream at home. | | Note on Worship at Princeton Seminary Chapel | | |
Parking is available in the Seminary Library lot (25 Library Place). Use the crosswalk in front of the Library to safely cross Mercer Street. Limited additional parking is available in the Staff Parking Lot off of College Road.
If you need to drop someone off at the Chapel, the most direct route is to enter the campus from Alexander Street. If you enter from Mercer Street, please note that the road around the Quad is one-way only — and please be mindful of pedestrians!
Accessible parking on the Quad is limited; an NPC-PTS dashboard sign, available from the church office, is required.

A spot has opened on our English as a Second Language Tutoring Team supporting a refugee family in our community. There is an urgent need for a volunteer available on Wednesday early evenings.

| | Car Needed for Refugee Family | | If you have a car in good condition that you would consider donating, please contact the church office. Our refugee family will need reliable transportation early this summer. | | Loaves and Fishes - May Dinner Service | | |
Friday, May 30 (Princeton) and/or Saturday, May 31 (Trenton)
Loaves & Fishes update! The kitchen and dining room will not be available at the Cathedral at St. Mary in Trenton. Meal service will be handed out in to-go bags along with our prepared bagged lunches and personal care items. The main impact to Nassau is we do not need servers to hand out the hot meal to our guests. We still need assistance on Friday evening to prepare the food. We still need volunteers on Saturday to transport everything to Trenton, to pack to-go bags and to serve drinks and breakfast items outdoors. For those who know the space, we will still have access to the back room for pack out and a space to take a break, if needed. Join our community of faith in action. Read more and sign up on-line.

Sometimes we are able to witness the gifts and skills of our children and youth in worship, but there are so many we don’t get to see! Come celebrate the children and youth in this informal showcase. Juggling, magic, jokes, gymnastics, instruments, solos, poetry - everything is welcome and encouraged. We look forward to celebrating our kids with our church family!
