THE APOSTLES’ CREED I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic Church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

We Aspire to be Welcoming, Growing, and Serving Chancel Flowers - Please contact Linda Frank in the church office (office@lppcmin.org) if you are interested in placing the chancel flowers in memory or honor of someone on September 27, 2026. Redner’s Markets - Pick up a Redner’s Rewards Card at your local Redner’s and use the card each time you make a purchase. Then place the original register tapes from purchases using the card in an envelope and mail or bring to LPPC. LPPC will then receive 1% of the total purchase in the form of a rebate check. Please make sure the total amount is visible on the bottom of the receipt and that the receipt is smooth enough to be read. Adopt a Tree for the Cemetery - This spring, Session approved the purchase of 15 evergreen trees (White Pine & Norway Spruce) to be planted along the cemetery boundary beside the Maintain-ItAll property line. At a total cost of $3,000, these trees will create a natural visual buffer, screening the neighboring equipment and enhancing the cemetery’s beauty and peacefulness. We invite you to prayerfully consider contributing to this effort. The average cost is $200 per tree, though any amount is welcome. Make checks payable to Lower Providence Presbyterian Church (Attn: Jim Kardos) with "Adopt a Tree" in the memo line or use the link in your weekly email. Hearing Devices- Hearing amplification devices are available in the Narthex. Ask an usher if you need assistance. After the service please make sure the battery is turned off and the device is hung back up in the Narthex.
