CELEBRATION SCHOLARSHIP & COMING EVENTS

In the coming year, there will be some exciting opportunities for youth from across Palo Duro Presbytery and even our neighbors in Tres Rios Presbytery to come together. We hope our young people, youth leaders, and sponsors will take a look at what’s ahead, mark those calendars, and make plans to join!

Some details are still being worked out, but we wanted to get these dates on your radar now. We’ll keep you posted as more information becomes available.

We can’t wait to see the friendships, memories, and faith-filled experiences that grow out of these gatherings. After all, the church is more than the congregation we see on Sunday mornings. We’re part of a much larger family—and there’s always room for you at the table!

It may seem early, but now is the perfect time to start spreading the word! Please share this information with high school seniors who may be eligible to apply for the Celebration Scholarship. We want to make sure students and families know about this opportunity well in advance so they have plenty of time to prepare and complete the application process. Help us get the word out!

Youth from Palo Duro Presbytery (grades 6-12) are invited to join youth and adult sponsors from Tres Rios Presbytery for TRYC Winter Retreat 2027: ROOTED, January 8–10, at Circle 6 Camp in Stanton, Texas.

The retreat will feature special guests and leadership from across the Presbyterian Church, along with a mission project to help establish a new Synod of the Sun collection site for Presbyterian Disaster Assistance in Big Spring. Participants will help gather and organize supplies to support communities affected by disasters.

The cost is $25 per person.

If you are interested in participating, please contact the Palo Duro Presbytery office by December 7 for more information.
