Update January 31


Ski Trip!

Last weekend, many of the Fellows flew out to Breckenridge. By the looks of the pictures, I think it's safe to say they had a pretty good time. 

Home Cooked Meal


The Fellows had a delicious pasta night at the Love Out Loud Yadkin House. If you haven't heard of this place and are local, check it out! 






Happy Birthday, Miranda! 


We had the joy of celebrating Miranda's Birthday last week at Round Table. Then, she was able to celebrate with some of the Fellows at her Family Friend's, the Nicholsons.  We sure do love this woman!



The birthday girl doesn't have to go far to get her hair done.



Celebrating Anthony


Dr. Anthony Jones is a dear friend of the Fellows. He taught a class on Beloved Community in the Fall and serves on our Board of Directors. This past Sunday was Anthony's last Sunday serving as pastor at United Cornerstone Baptist Church.  We are excited to see what's ahead for him! 




Leader Lunch


Frank McNair led our Leader Lunch a couple weeks ago. You know one is engaging with the Fellows when they ask if he can come back before he's even finished. Frank is also Wil's mentor. We are so thankful for him! 






While the rest of the Fellows were headed to Colorado, we had a yummy lunch at River Birch during our normal Leader Lunch slot last week.



Alumni in town


Tori stopped by while traveling to Charlotte. We sure do miss her! 





I'm not really sure what's happening here but looks like Ned and Trent had a good time.


Recruitment


We are thrilled to announce that Wyatt Hill is our newest addition to the class of 2022-2023 class of Winston-Salem Fellows. Wyatt grew up in Atlanta but is currently living in South Carolina. Can't wait for next year, Wyatt!

If you, or someone you know, is interested in joining Wyatt next year, you can apply now on our website: wsfellows.com 

Colorado


Many of the Fellows took a trip to Colorado last week to hit the slopes. Looks like they found some cozy coffee shops too!




Is it just me or should this be a Christmas card?



Not everyone decided to ski. A couple folks decided to have some R&R :) 





Next Month

This month we will continue class with Rob Alexander on Gospel-centered work and Ned will continue teaching on Life Vision Statements. We have some all-start Leader Lunch speakers lined up. In addition, the interviewing process will continue. 

Most likely we're going to start doing the update monthly, so stay tuned! Thank you for your support!

Our friend Kim at Crossnore sent the Fellows a gift card for pizza.

June 2025

  June brought a change of pace as our formal Fellows programming came to a close. But that hasn’t stopped the Fellows from enjoying some summer fun! They've been transitioning into fuller work schedules, searching for housing for the year ahead, and even managed to sneak away for a beach trip. Recruitment Above is a photo of the Madisons from this past year. One fun fact about Madison Avery (left) is that she joined the Fellows program just two weeks before it started—right in the middle of her sister’s wedding celebrations! Even with such a quick turnaround, Madison jumped in wholeheartedly and has had a truly transformative year. She fully embraced the experience and is now stepping into a full-time role with her Fellows employer. We’re still filling spots for our 2025–2026 class. So, if you know a recent grad or young adult who’s still figuring out their next step, send them our way —Madison is proof that great things can start even at the last minute. Oklahoma! We have a star...

May 2025

May 2025  Above, you'll see how it started versus how it ended. May has been a bittersweet month as we officially wrapped up the ninth class of Winston-Salem Fellows. What a year it has been—full of growth, laughter, challenges, and transformation. Truly, an incredible year worth celebrating! World Relief Race Earlier this spring, the Fellows were deeply impacted by our time with Jon Musser as we learned about the incredible work World Relief is doing here in the Triad. So when they heard that River Oaks Community Church was hosting a 5K to benefit World Relief, they were all in. And apparently, they brought their A-game—Steve and Ellie both placed in their divisions! Leader Lunches Our final two Leader Lunches were spent with two remarkable individuals. First, we heard from Charlie Barham of Cassia Capital, followed by a meaningful conversation with Amy Carlan, Associate Pastor at First Presbyterian. Classes We wrapped up the year with two of our longest classes. First, Gospel-Cen...

April 2025

April 2025 Update It's our last full month with the Fellows from the class of 2024-2025, and it was a full one! We celebrated as several Fellows received job offers to stay in Winston Salem. A couple are still looking, but we are crossing our fingers that all nine will remain here next year.  Bryn and Dean Got Married! Well, they actually tied the knot back in February but we forgot to mention them in the last update! Bryn and Dean actually met walking down the aisle together for AJ and Bailey's wedding a few years ago. Fortunately for us, they are still in Winston Salem. We had a wonderful time celebrating them and enjoying a reunion of sorts with folks from several Fellows classes.  Ecuador Video! The very talented Jed put together a short video to capture part of our time in Ecuador. We couldn't possibly show everything, but please check it out!   Leader Lunches We had another stellar lineup this month! A fun fact: every speaker was either a current or former employers...
