UPDATE Week of May 22

ALL IS WELL THAT ENDS WELL

It was a wonder-filled last week of the Fellows Program

FINAL ROUND TABLE (Almost)

Steve and Christie Angle welcomed us into their beautiful (if these walls could speak) home. After worship, Steve left us with a charge and a challenge. A sweet time was had by all. 


LEADER LUNCH ON TOP OF 500 West

What a power packed final leader lunch with Josh Benoit, Annie Carper, and Logan Self. These are some of the leaders at Flow Automotive. 

They are also the former Board Chair for the Fellows, two graduates of Fellows Programs, and a current Board Member.

It was a true over the rooftop experience...literally!

END WELL ADVANCE

It really was the sweetest of times this weekend with our final advance of the year. 


We worshipped and loved on each other. 


After we shared our mission statements, we ended with several secret Fellows traditions. Big sigh. What a great group of special people. 


ICE CREAM SOCIAL

On Saturday evening, we had a parent ice cream social and slideshow. After the parents went to bed, we went out to celebrate.



GRADUATION

I wish everyone in the world could have tuned into graduation this year. THIS is what it is all about. Wow.


Hef opened with some remarks


Murf and Al blessed Meg


Tammy Priest sent off Emi


Shelly Bailey affirmed Jazmine


Rob Paynter repped all the Paynters as he expounded on Thomas


Anne Powers shared about her time with Molly


Gerald Crisco blessed his and Wyatt's socks off

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.

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...
