Identification and regulation
So often in life we feel happiness as a result of circumstances where happiness was not the goal but was the result.
What if happiness (and other pleasant emotions) wasn't just happenstance, but a skill that we could practice and develop?
What role could faith have in developing these skills?
small groups
1. How would you define "happiness" without using other emotions in the definition?
2. Is it important for Jesus followers to be able to regulate their mood/emotions? Why?
3. When we provide emotions with a very specific definition, does that make it easier for us to seek them out intentionally?
4. What is one emotion that you want to be intentional about seeking out more often or managing/reducing?

winter retreat
Join us for our winter weekend, January 17-19, 2025!
We are heading to Camp Ao-Wa-Kiya for a weekend of activities that include the tubing hill, crafts, dodgeball, 9 square, team games, broomball and sessions that include games, worship, teaching and small groups. We will head to camp in charter busses so parents will not need to transport their students.
The cost for this weekend is $145 and there are scholarships available. Registration is open for the month of November!

If you have any questions about this weekend, please email Caitlyn Jachim at caitlynj@keystonecc.org
Monthly schedule
Check out what we've got going on this month!
november 20 - happy days
Each Beatitude in Matthew 5:3-12 begins with the word "blessed" meaning happiness. This series will challenge students to consider what Jesus means when He says pursuing more for less, drawing near when you lose what's most dear, and working up an appetite for God is the way to happiness.
november 27 - no anthem
Due to Thanksgiving, there will be NO ANTHEM on Wednesday, November 27. We will meet back up again on December 4! Happy Thanksgiving!
december 4 - the kid
So much of the transformative power of the Christmas narrative lies in the reality that Jesus was born and raised in a place so small and inconsequential that it appears on no maps prior to the 1st century. This series allows us to consider how a kid from nowhere changes everything; how you see your situation, how you see yourself and everyone else, and how you see your fear.
