Service is a vital part of the GBYouth ministry. Being on mission with Christ is the natural outworking of following Christ. (James 2.18).

Sterling Cannady, Summer Intern

GBYouth is excited to welcome (back) Sterling Anna Cannady to serve as our Next Gen Summer Intern. Sterling proved her leadership acumen throughout her student tenure with our ministry. She has a tremendous passion for both missions and discipleship. Her primary duties will be to give focus to these two areas over the summer break.

Sterling is currently studying human development and family science at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama.

Some of her favorites:

Favorite food- Trader Joe’s frozen family gluten free Mac and cheese (don’t bash it until you’ve tried it). 

Favorite band- needtobreathe! 

Favorite coffee shop- Albany is elements, bham is red cat!

COMMON GROUND COSTUME NIGHT!

WEDNESDAY NIGHT at Common Ground was a blast!

Students enjoyed an awesome Fall Festival evening that began with a costume contest. Judged by veteran GBYouth leaders Austin and Alex Mobley, the costume contest was amazing. Karen Kitchens took first place as Elliot (with E.T.), followed by Sammy James and Caleb Haynes for second and third. They GBYouth worship band played a worship set with a Beatitudes devotional by Pastor Bryan. Students played a new pool-noodle chop-sticks game to finish out the night. Thanks to all of the students who came out to hang out! Your costumes were just wonderful! ❤️

SUNDAY FUNDAY!

Finally and about time!

When we asked our students what they needed most from their ministry, they answered emphatically two things: 1. FUN and 2. FOOD!

We agreed.

It’s what we as ministry leaders have been craving, just the same.

It’s ONLY been since Disciple Now in February that we last experienced those two things together! We believed the time was right for us to have our first official GBYouth recreation and food event.

We hosted around 60 people and had a blast playing games like Kickball and Ultimate Chicken (yes, I said chicken). We enjoyed our slightly world-famous Ray-Burgers boxed, hot off the grill and snow cones from the Kona-Ice truck! You could say it rocked!

An important step in the right direction.

Sunday Funday marks an important step as we continue our path to normalcy. We continue to carefully dial back in our ministry gatherings as we pull through the Co-Vid pandemic.
