UrbanPromise October Serving Partner UrbanPromise Camden is a Christ‑centered ministry, founded in 1988 by Dr. Bruce Main in Camden and serving one of our nation’s most economically challenged urban communities. It’s mission is to help Camden’s youth reach their full potential by providing safe, nurturing spaces where young people receive academic support, spiritual formation, leadership development, and year‑round mentoring, grounded in Christian faith. The organization operates: ● Two schools: CamdenForward School (K–8) and UrbanPromise Academy (9–12), known for small class sizes and strong graduation rates. ● After‑school programs and summer camps serving hundreds of children annually with academic enrichment, recreation, arts, and Bible study. ● Leadership and employment programs for teens through the StreetLeader initiative, offering paid roles, mentoring, and college/career preparation. ● Experiential programs such as UrbanTrekkers and BoatWorks, which build confidence, skills, and curiosity through outdoor exploration and hands‑on boat building. UrbanPromise engages hundreds of volunteers and interns each year and has inspired similar ministries worldwide through UrbanPromise International. The ministry relies on the partnership of churches, volunteers, and supporters who share a commitment to offering hope and opportunity to Camden’s youth. LPPC is supporting UrbanPromise Camden this year through both financial sponsorship and hands‑on service. 1. Child & Trekker Sponsorships - We are sponsoring three children and one Trekker for the 2026 program year. These sponsorships help provide year‑round academic support, mentoring, and leadership development for Camden youth. 2. Bookbag Donations – LPPC members packed and donated 32 bookbags for UrbanPromise’s school‑year programs, ensuring students begin the year with the tools they need to succeed. 3. Volunteer Opportunities -Those interested in exploring volunteer opportunities with UrbanPromise are encouraged to visit their website: http://www.urbanpromiseusa.org 4. Prayer Support - Please keep UrbanPromise’s staff, students, and families in your prayers as they continue their Christ-centered work in Camden.
The Weekly for October 23, 2026
ANNOUNCEMENTS ● Our Next Contemplative Spiritual Practice Class is HERE! We will be

Gay Christian" by Matthew Vines. Sign up through the link in your weekly email. Contact Nancy Care with questions. ● Looking to learn more about LPPC or explore becoming a member?
Our last Connections Class is November 1st. ● Would you like your college student to receive a goodie box from the

Please bring food no later than November 16th @9AM. Contact Brenda Bell with any questions. ● Although we have enjoyed the fresh weekly chancel flowers for many years, logistics have necessitated a change. The arrangements are too large for many facilities and can be difficult for the Deacons to transport. Beginning in November we will have one lectern arrangement of fresh flowers for Sunday worship and seasonal silk arrangements for the chancel flowers.
