#MissionMonday – Appalachia Service Project

Repairing Homes. Transforming Lives


warmer. safer. drier.

Over the past decade Nassau Presbyterian Church has sent more than 150 members – youth and adults, experienced and beginners – to work on projects for ASP, Appalachia Service Project. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic we have not been able to participate since 2019 but look forward to the next opportunity.

On Youth Sunday we take up a special collection to support the work of ASP and this year is no different. Please join us in support of this group. Choose “ASP” from the Fund drop down box.

Next Week at Witherspoon (April 25-May 1)

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.

Lectio Divina – Adult Education (4/25 & 5/2)

Lectio Divina with Ignatius of Loyola

St. Benedict introduced the church to a rich form of Scripture meditation called lectio divina, but Ignatius of Loyola in the 16th C. added imaginative depth to the practice, which we would like to share with you. Come join us for guided meditations around various passages that invite you to see, hear, taste, touch and smell the sights and sounds of Scripture.

Bo Karen Lee is associate professor of spiritual theology and Christian formation at Princeton Theological Seminary. Before joining Princeton faculty, she taught at Loyola College in Baltimore, Maryland, where she developed courses with a vibrant service-learning component for students to work at shelters for women recovering from drug addiction and sex trafficking. She now enjoys teaching classes on prayer for the Spirituality and Mission Program at Princeton Seminary, in addition to taking students on retreats and hosting meditative walks along nature trails.



#MissionMonday – VIP Water Walk

Virtual Event. Tangible Impact.


Villages in Partnership’s annual Water Walk raises funds for clean water, health, and sanitation for our neighbors in 26 remote villages of Malawi, Africa. Your gifts support sustainable development projects, impacting over 21,000 lives.

Villages in Partnership (VIP) is Nassau Church’s mission partner working in Malawi, Africa, to fight extreme poverty in rural villages. VIP’s signature event, the Water Walk, will be conducted virtually on Saturday, May 22. Funds raised through this event will help to drill wells for clean water and build hand-washing stations in public spaces to reduce disease and improve the quality of life. Attend the Live Stream event, 7-8:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 22 at villagesinpartnership.org to learn more about our mission partner and VIP’s life-changing ministry.

Also recommended the video “Transformational Travel: Lessons from Malawi” on our Adult Education Videos page. Hear from members of Nassau Church reflect on experiencing life together with our brothers and sisters living in the materially impoverished but spiritually rich villages of Malawi.
