UPDATE Week of May 15

Lot's of love to share at the Fellows house


ROUND TABLE

We had a fabulous Round Table with Chris and Virginia Perry. The Perry's are in a little bit of a nomadic season, so the meal ended up not being at their home but at river Birch Lodge!

Yum! The Fellows did not mind!

LEADER LUNCH

What an awesome Leader Lunch at INMAR. The Fellows were blown away by the thoughtfulness and wisdom of Fred, Andy, Lee, Thomas, Sharon and of course Christian McConnon (fellows alum). Cannot thank the team enough for such a great time in their cool new space.  


CLASS

We couldn't get enough of Dana Nicholson! Jazmine is running to try to catch her as she was driving out. Full disclosure...it was because she forgot her glasses!

I'm happy to say Jazmine saved the day!


CELEBRATING A JOB WELL DONE

Denise Heidel surprised her Fellow, Thomas with a send off at their Chamber meeting last week. From one mascot to another - Denise couldn't have gotten a better gift for Thomas than a hand delivered gift basket from Thomas' favorite eating spot - Chik-Fil-A

In other news, Kate Spangler finished Vanderbilt Law School! She and Tim will be heading to Raleigh for work! Congratulations!!!

FUN TIMES

Fellows old and new are finding plenty of creative ways to enjoy spring time in Winston-Salem


MOMMA'S DAY

I want to pause a moment and celebrate my amazing co-director Hef Turner. Not only does she lead the Fellows well - she also is an incredible mom. 

Happy Mother's Day, Hef!

I want to give a shout out to Lia, too. It is not easy being a working mom but she does it with style and grace.

Also, Happy Mother's Day to my mom!


RECRUITING

We just had another interview this morning!

Keep up the prayers y'all. And specifically, send some females are way. We have four available spots for females next year.

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. Plus, if you read all the way to the end, you’ll get a special update on what the very first class of Winston-Salem Fellows is up to today! Video Loading    For the past year, we’ve been dreaming about creating a new video to share the Fellows’ stories and highlight the impact of this program. Thanks to Jed’s help, that dream is becoming a reality and we can’t wait to share the finished product with you! Annual Alumni Labor Day Cookout  We kicked off the year with our annual Alumni Labor Day Cookout and it may have been the best weather we’ve ever had for this event! On Day One, we were grateful to welcome the new class of Fellows into the wider Fellows community. Winston-Salem Fellows class of 2026 We’re so excited for you to me...

October 2025

October 2025 The Carolina Classic Fair seems to usher in fall here in Winston-Salem. We are now in the full swing of our Fellow's schedule. We've celebrated birthdays, enjoyed the beautiful weather, and more!  Happy Birthday Alana! Sweet Alana is so easy to celebrate! Dharma and Gracie, from the class of '24, threw Alana a party and planned an early morning hike for our girl that loves the great outdoors! Round Table We've continued to be hosted by some incredible alumni and have done a terrible job of taking pictures. Above, Kevin was leading us in worship and Jed (dressed as a pirate) was capturing footage for our video. Thank you to all our hosts this month: Ava, Ellie, Eliza, and Hardy; Molly and Lucy; Drew, Kevin, and Jed; Steve and Christy!  Leader Lunch We are so honored and humbled by the men and women who take the time to invest in the Fellows year after year and share their stories.

May 2026

The Winston-Salem Fellows class of 2025–2026 has officially graduated! 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...
