UPDATE Week of Dec 12

 

Celebration Time

It was a multi-year Fellows party on Saturday with Fellows from Year 2, 3, 4, and 5 all in attendance!

The Week

Round Table...we had a little Covid hiccup so Round Table moved to the Fellows House this week. We still were blessed with a Rainey enchilada casserole! Ned needed to slip out for a presentation but made it back in time to finish up a great study on Isaiah 53 led by Hef.

Leader Lunch...we had a BLAST with Betsy Annese who came to the Fellows House to share her amazing story of vocation and faith. I honestly would pay to hear this woman speak. Her stories are a hoot! THANK YOU BETSY!!!

Classes...we had two fabulous classes once again with the dynamic duo of Katy Benoit and Venneikia Samantha Williams. Then, it was off to lunch!


Festival of Lights

The Fellows joined a longstanding Winston-Salem tradition and waited in line with half the world to see the Festival of Lights at Tanglewood on Friday!

Half were in the cab - the other half were in the bed.

Celebrating Garrett and Caroline!

The highlight of the week was easily the wedding of Garrett Briggs and Caroline Wolfe. What a love story! Perhaps the coolest part of the story is that twenty-some years ago, when Caroline, who was born early and almost didn't survive, was only six months old, Paul Briggs, Garrett's dad, met her! And prayed for her! Little did he know he was praying for his future daughter-in-law!

We had a great cloud of witnesses to cheer these two friends along!

Congratulations Garrett and Caroline. We could not be more happy for you two!


Recruiting 

We have extended two offers to Fellows for next year's class. 

We have another interview in twenty minutes and are in discussions with a few more.

This holiday season, be on the lookout for college seniors and recent graduates looking for the next thing to do - WE WILL BE THEIR NEXT THING!

connect us and we will do the rest!

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...
