Starting this coming Sunday night, the Ridge Student Ministry will begin a new study written by Sean McDowell entitled, "Am I Happy?".  During the next six Sunday Night Youth meetings, we will break down the misconceptions of true happiness that society and the media try to teach our youth. 

Too many times, I hear stories that give evidence to teenagers searching for happiness in all the wrong places.  Teens naturally tend to gain confidence and joy from superficial things like fitting in at school, being complimented on their looks, their weight, athletic, musical, or artistic abilities, and many others.

Please pray that we will begin to break apart these misconceptions within our teens.  Pray that they will grow in their knowledge of just how loved that they are by a God that does not make junk!  Pray that their hearts and minds will soak up God's word as we dive into Scripture to reveal the true sources of happiness.
