✨ Happy New Year, Church Family! ✨

As we step into this new year, may we do so with hearts open to God’s transforming grace. This is a season of positive change—of growing deeper in faith, strengthening our bonds with one another, and embracing the new things God is preparing in our midst.

May the Holy Spirit guide our steps, renew our spirits, and empower us to be a community of hope, compassion, and courage. Together, let’s walk forward with expectation, trusting that the God who has carried us this far will continue to lead us into greater purpose and blessing.

Here’s to a year of renewal, unity, and joyful growth. 

Happy New Year, beloved church family!

Teens Inciting Change Offering $700 Idea Grants for High School Youth With Ideas

Palatka, FL - Local teens with a passion for making a difference now have the chance to turn their ideas into action. Teens Inciting Change (TIC), an initiative of First Presbyterian Church of Palatka, is awarding $700 idea grants to seven students in grades 9 through 12 to develop and implement a project that enhances the quality of life in Palatka and Putnam County.

“We believe that young people in our community have great ideas about what will make their community better,” said Steve Crowley, who leads the initiative for the church. “Therefore, we have created a way for them to bring their vision, albeit in a small way, to life for all of our community residents.”

Students in grades 9 through 12 are encouraged to submit project proposals soon. Ideas will be accepted until all grants have been awarded. Whether it’s a service project, an arts or environmental initiative, or a social impact idea, TIC is committed to supporting youth-led solutions. A parent or guardian is required to sign the application as well as the developer to indicate they understand that the project is being submitted and they support their youth.

The proposals will be reviewed by a selection committee and seven projects will be selected. Recipients will be notified by text and or email. They may be required to meet with the selection committee to discuss their project and will be expected to make a public presentation about their project at an event when it is done.

Selected applicants will be notified via text and email. Apply today and see all the information  at teensincitingchange.org and incite the change you want to see!
