ROUND TABLE SWEETNESS

We had the sweetest time with Sarah Angle and Sydney Circeo on Monday (not pictured - that's Callie and Hef, but they were there! Even though this picture is from another day - anyway...Round Table was fantastic. We ate, we shared, we worshipped, we prayed, and ate the best dessert in history. Thanks Sarah!

LEADER LUNCH AT SAMARITAN MINISTRIES

We had a fantastic Wednesday Leader Lunch with our friends at Samaritan Ministries. Jan and Kimberly met with us. Joe Ely came and shared his story and some sage wisdom about life and service. 

Afterward, we put it into practice and completely a service project!

LAST CLASS WITH MARTHA

and

CRISIS CONTROL MINISTRIES

No pictures but we had a great third session with Martha. Afterward, we headed over to Crisis Control to participate in a poverty simulation called Living on the Edge. George Banks brought the heat! What a fantastic program and fantastic organization. 


BRIDGE BUILDING

The Fellows and friends jumped in to take part in a very meaningful moment for our city as we installed a bridge over Peter's Creek on the Crossnore Property as part of the new Emma and Stuart Thomas Trail which BRIDGES Buena Vista and Boston Thurmond neighborhoods. 

This project is near and dear to our hearts

And I get chills just thinking about what this means for our city. Such an honor to be a part of it and be among the first to cross the bridge!

The highlight of a week of highlights was Friendsgiving with the Fellows.

September 2025

  September 2025 It’s hard to believe, but this year marks the tenth class of Winston-Salem Fellows! We can’t wait for you to meet them. The first month has already been full and exciting, and we can’t wait to share some highlights with you.

We had a wonderful end to the year celebrating all that this class and our year together.  As we close out another incredible year, be sure to check out an update on the Fellows class of 2023–2024 below. We’re excited to share what they’ve been doing since graduation and how they continue to make an impact in Winston-Salem and beyond. Happy Birthday, William! William’s birthday is actually in August, but summer birthdays are always a surprise celebration around here. Although, since we celebrated at the last Round Table, I’m not sure it was much of a surprise after all.  For the guy who can’t have peanuts and doesn’t like most chocolate, birthday cake ice cream saved the day!   Leader Lunch Our last Leader Lunch of the year was with Charlie Barham at Cassia Capital. While Charlie has an  impressive résumé, much of our conversation centered on his passion for Jesus and his leadership with Bible Stu...
