Retired Synod Executive of the Synod of Lincoln Trails and Parish Associate at Northminster Presbyterian Church, Indianapolis
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.

Text Giving

Text NASSAU hunger to 73256 to give to the Hunger Fund.
Standard messaging rates apply.

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.

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.
