Memorial Day Flag Placement
at Princeton Cemetery
| | |
Join us as we honor those who served. Volunteers are needed to help place American flags at the graves of veterans in Princeton Cemetery (29 Greenview Ave) on Saturday, May 24 at 10:00 AM. This is a meaningful way for all ages to serve together and remember those who gave their lives in service to our country.

| | 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.

| | 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. | | "Summer" Mission Projects | | As we prepare to begin our summer worship schedule and have temporarily moved to the PTS Chapel on April 27, we also look ahead to a season of service. Nassau Church’s summer mission projects offer simple, meaningful ways to make a difference — most requiring just a few hours of your time. Whether you’re able to volunteer in person or support with a donation, each opportunity helps extend care and compassion to our neighbors near and far. Explore the 2025 Summer Mission Projects and find your way to join in. | | Find out more about Nassau's recently featured mission partners on our website. | | Grown-ups Needed for Summer Church School | Would you consider assisting in the Summer Church School class for preschool through grade two?

You provide love for the children of our church and a willingness to try something new. Youth helpers are also welcome to join in assisting. | | |

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!
