Update Late June

 CELEBRATION TIMES

June is the month when we can take a brief breath. We get away with family, reflect, evaluate and begin the big gear up for next year. 

As the month comes to a close, there is the inevitable - Holy Moley! It's July! How did that happen? Summer just started! 

Maybe you are feeling that, too.

But before we get into the business (or busy-ness) of it all - we want to take a moment to celebrate some special moments. 

Hayes and Haley Mabry!

There was a bonfire and a building of an infamous picnic table which all led to this beautiful match made in heaven! Haley was a four three fellow. Hayes was a year five. It was been pure joy watching them bond over rock climbing, hiking, music, coffee and their love for the Lord. 

Congratulations!


Luke and Montana Hoffman!

Luke Hoffman married his college sweetheart, Montana, on a beautiful farm not too far from Appalachian State, where the two of them met. 

I know Luke is excited to move on from having thirteen roommates to just one! We are thrilled that the two of them have found a place to live right in West End! 

The Fellows danced the night away. One of us woke up pretty sore! I'm not saying which one it was, but he may or may not be the one photo-bombing. 


MOVING ON UP

Caleb here is starting a new job here in Winston-Salem at Baird. He was introduced to this group earlier this year through one of our classes, and it has been fun to see this opportunity materialize for him. 

Fellows are also finding homes away from the Crossnore House - always bittersweet. 

One thing that makes it less bitter is that most of the Fellows - 13 of the 14 are staying here at least through the summer! 

WANT TO GET INVOLVED?

As hinted at earlier - there are a lot of puzzle pieces that need to be put together. THIS IS THE TIME TO RAISE YOUR HAND if you are interested in getting involved with the Fellows Program this year. 

We are looking for:

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...

Ecuador: Days 5 and 6

  Ecuador: Days 5 and 6 Day 5! Started off the day by taking our friends from El Reypin to the park for a field trip. After a delightful drive, we hopped off the bus and circled up in the sunshine to play some games. There were smiles all around as we laughed, ran, jumped, sang, and danced with our buddies! This was truly one of our favorite days playing with our new friends. Kevin was the star in one of our games. He was asked to test his athletic abilities by running around with a bucket tied to his back while being chased by 10 children. He was no match, and every single one of them threw a ball in the bucket. Next time, Kevin! We finished off our park day with a yummy hotdog topped with mayo, onions, tomatoes, and potato chips.   Afterwards, we journeyed to the center of the Earth. That's right! The Equator. Zero degrees latitude didn't hold anything on this peculiar group of individuals. The Fellows not only survived but looked fly doing it. And that is really all th...

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...
