Flowering the Cross for Easter | |
The flowering of the cross in front of the Nassau Church building on Easter morning, which began during the pandemic, has quickly become a meaningful Easter tradition. We know that many of you took photos of family members at the cross or just of the flowered cross itself, capturing memories of this special time. We would be incredibly grateful if you could share these images with us. Your pictures will not only help us cherish the moments we shared together but also serve as a reminder of the beauty and significance of our Easter display. | |

Donate by April 21, Assembly Room
The Mission and Outreach Committee is collecting clean clothing and shoes for children (newborn to age 5) for families living in Donnelley Homes, a 376-unit complex run by the Trenton Housing Authority. The Toddlers Closet distributes clothing to families, and the closet is often empty, as it is now. This small, but impactful project is an initiative of the Trenton Community Street Team.
