Next Week at Witherspoon (May 16 – 22)

Posted on by

Nassau is invited to join our siblings at Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church (WSPC) for worship and study. Find information below for upcoming events, and contact Phyllis Rich for zoom links.

In our charge to “do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly,” Nassau is grateful to partner with our siblings at Witherspoon Presbyterian Church. Ongoing Bending the Moral Arc small groups engage in courageous conversations on race and justice facilitated by members of the Nassau & Witherspoon Partnership Team working in partnership. Those leaders pull from a running resource list to ground discussion, and we wanted to share those resources with you here.

#MissionMonday – Myanmar

Posted on by

Prayers for Myanmar

Since the coup on February 1, Nassau has been joining in prayer for the people of Myanmar. We pray for their safety and liberation. One of our long-time mission partners Cetana, like most NGOs and INGOs in Myanmar, have suspended operations for now. There are a few smaller organizations still able to operate and the need is great. Marisa Charles spoke with Nassau’s Mission & Outreach Commitee in April. She shared the documents below as an overview of the current situation and examples of how we can continue to support our siblings in Myanmar.

Marisa Charles is an international development specialist raised at Nassau Church with over 10 years experience with NGOs in Myanmar.

#MissionMonday – Loveland Foundation

Posted on by

Supporting Healing for Black Women & Girls

In memory of the 500,000 lives lost and in honor of each family and community grieving, Mission & Outreach approved a grant of $4,059 (15% of our discretionary funds for the year) to The Loveland Foundation. We know Covid disproportionately impacts communities of color, and that women often carry the heaviest burden. This gift would help support the healing of Black women and girls through therapy. Through supporting their healing, we support the healing in their families, communities, and our world.

The Loveland Foundation: The Therapy Fund for Black Women and Girls was founded in 2018 by Rachel Elizabeth Cargle. Cargle is a public academic, author, and activist. The Loveland Foundation provides access to therapy for Black women and girls across the country.

VBS & PresbyCamp 2021

Posted on by

June 28 – July 1, 2021

Last year, at Virtual Vacation Bible School we told stories of the Israelites’ captivity and exile to Babylon. As we began our own pandemic exile, we empathized with their grief as they missed their beloved Temple and traditions just as we were missing our church building and community.

It’s now a year later. We have walked this long road together but the journey is not quite finished. Although there a signs of hope, we’re starting to ask, “Are we there yet?”

VBS 2021 again looks to the stories of our faith to provide guidance for our life. Welcome to Wilderness Wanderings: God Prepares a People. This summer we will gathering together again (outdoors and in-person on the grounds of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Princeton) to revisit the story of the Exodus and the 40-year trek through the desert from Egypt to the Promised Land. Along the way, God provided water, food, rules for living together, and leaders for the people. As we journey through this pandemic, God provides for us—young and old, individuals and the church community—what we need too.

Use the form below to register for Vacation Bible School (age 3 – rising grade 6). Older students (rising grades 4-6) are also invited to add on PresbyCamp. Limited spaces available.
