Hospitality Committee: The Hospitality Committee at Nassau is a wonderful way to get involved in a committee which is central to the functioning of our Church. This committee provides the dinners in connection with the Nassau at Four Concert Series (one Sunday evening a month, October-April), Homecoming, The Church Fair, Holiday Brunch, and other special events and receptions at the Church. The group is easy-going and flexible so one can help when it fits into their personal schedule. In addition to fellowship one can use their culinary and artistic talents in the presentation of our menus. Contact: Cathy Hendry (609-896-9637) or Kim Sarik (609-394-2912)
Men’s Breakfast: An open invitation is extended to all men at Nassau Church. They meet every Friday morning at 7:30AM in Room 204 and take turns bringing juice, cereal, and pastries. Participants rotate leading the discussion, which is often on the upcoming sermon title and scriptural texts.

Nassau Singles: Nassau Singles are single adult members of the congregation and friends who meet for fellowship and community service opportunities. We meet for lunch at Princeton restaurants after the 11:00AM church service on a monthly basis, and get together for a variety of social activities, including hikes, dances, potlucks, plays, concerts, and house tours. The group is self-led: members brainstorm activity ideas, then volunteer to coordinate them. All single adult members of the church community are welcome; most of our members are over 40.
