Partners in Faith

This year, we Presbyterians who worship in Princeton will celebrate a significant anniversary — 250 years of local church history. The 2005-2006 church year will mark 250 years since the College of New Jersey (later Princeton University) moved to town, bringing with it regular worship services.

To celebrate this milestone, the Witherspoon Street and Nassau Presbyterian Churches have prepared a series of events in which we can all learn about, celebrate, and further our history. This church year will be a time to hear about our past, deepen our local mission and renew our connections with our sister church. Let's all participate in this historic opportunity.

The growth of the Presbyterian Congregation established in Princeton 250 years ago closely parallels the spiritual, social and cultural development of our community. As Presbyterians we are proud of this legacy and look forward to celebrating this very special anniversary in the life of our churches.

On behalf of the Pastors and members of Nassau and Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Churches, the 250th Anniversary Steering Committee invites you to join in a year-long series of events to commemorate the founding of our faith community.

In this tentative calendar of activities there are a few gaps and some missing details but we urge you to use the calendar as a reference for planning your celebration year with us. Specific information about each activity will be printed in church bulletins and newsletters during the year.

Meanwhile, we thank you for your support as we embark on this exciting period of celebration and fellowship.
