As Christmas approaches, we remember that God comes to us in love—and calls us to love our neighbors.

Thank you for the ways you support our mission partners throughout the year and especially in this season of celebration and need.

Christmas Joy Offering

Posted on by

Holy God, as we look toward the manger at Christmas, prepare a way in our hearts to receive Christ into the world. May we love your world by showing forth the justice, love and peace only you provide. In Christ’s name, Amen.

This cherished offering strengthens two ministries equally: the Board of Pensions Assistance Program—providing emergency and long-term support for pastors, church workers, and their families—and Presbyterian-related schools and colleges equipping communities of color—forming future leaders with scholarships and leadership development.

Nassau Church will receive this Offering on Sunday, December 21. Can’t be here that day? You can give online anytime.
