Pioneer Women Reflect on Women in the Bible
|
|
We are delighted to share excerpts of this fascinating series, Pioneer Women Reflect on Women in the Bible created for The First Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, with our Nassau Presbyterian family for the next five weeks. View the complete series on their website.
August 15: Kathleen McVey on Miriam (Exodus 15)
Joseph Ross Stevenson Professor Emerita of Church History at Princeton Theological Seminary
This series invites you to see the women in the Bible through the eyes of women who were called to teach and preach when women in church leadership were few and far between. Each has been asked to reflect on a woman in Scripture whose character has been important for her own life and vocation. Each session has an accompanying Study Guide provided by Louise Johnson, Associate Pastor, Presbyterian Church of Lawrenceville.

Giving online is now the easiest and most efficient way to give to our church. You may give using the link provided or by using Church Life on your phone. You may also text NASSAU operating or NASSAU hunger to 73256. The most efficient way to give to Arm in Arm is directly on their website.
You may also mail a check. As our offices are closed, mail is being forwarded to Linda Gilmore. This remains an unpredictable process with some mail arriving weeks after it was mailed. So it is more efficient to mail directly to Linda (look up her address in My Nassau or Church Life or contact her by email.) If you have questions about gifts you have mailed, you may also contact Linda about those.

Virtual CHANCEL DRAMA - Table for Five...Thousand! The Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes
|
|
Rehearsals for Nassau’s Chancel Drama are well underway this week, with participants meeting online to learn music, lines, and participate in Bible study with Pastor Dave. Our chancel drama features 24 youth and children and will appear in a memorable worship service on August 23! |
|
Fall programming will be creative as we continue to find ways to keep singing, continue to grow musicianship skills and seek peace that comes through our gathering to make music in the worship of God. Look for correspondence from the Forward In Faith Together working group later this week. |

The ministry of prayer is part of the baptismal calling of every believer. We pray for the world because God so loves the world. We pray for the church because it is Christ’s body, living and working in the world. We pray for one another because we care for the wholeness of God’s people. To request prayer for yourself, a loved one, or a friend please contact Debbi Roldan. To join the prayer chain, send Debbi your email address or phone number.

During this time of Covid-19, the Deacon Card-makers have transformed into the ministry of the Nassau Cardigans (Card-igans). This team of dedicated crafters, led by Agnes Olah, has prepared in the last 3 months, over 1000 Craft Kits for the children of Trenton.
Partnering with Westminster Presbyterian Church and the Trenton YMCA, the Cardigans utilize materials from our Church School supply closets and monies dedicated for mission and outreach to create individual art projects that are taken home and enjoyed by dozens and dozens of children.
Out of these supplies and funds come creative kits filled with colorful and vibrant hands-on projects. Everything that’s needed is organized into individual packets. The Cardigans meet in Nassau’s parking lot on Wednesday mornings to pick up their homework for the week, then drop off the finished kits back at the church to Lolly O’Brien who delivers 100 kits a week to Westminster and the YMCA.
With huge thanks to Julia Hill, Hanka Spelda, Pamela Long, Anne Steel, Pam Kelsey, Mary Brown, and leaders Agnes Olah and Lolly O’Brien.

Reaching the Nassau Staff |
|
Like many of you, the Nassau Staff is working from home so email is the most efficient way to be in touch. You can find each staff person’s email address on the Clergy and Staff page of our website.
If you have general questions or do not know to whom your email would best be addressed, please email “office@nassauchurch.org.” This email address is monitored by our administrative staff who will forward it to the person best suited to address it.
Staff can also be reached by phone if you have a pastoral emergency. Please call the church office at (609) 924-0103, dial "0", and leave a message. The main church line is checked daily by staff.
