UPDATE Week of June 19

Sum Sum Summertime


Hef and I are taking short holidays before we get back to it. In the meantime, a few things did happen... 

Owen and Michelle Got Married!

Another Fellows Love Story with a happy ending! What a way to kick off the summer with a killer celebration with this dynamic duo!


Lots of friends gathering to celebrate our friends! Congrats Owen and Michelle WOOD!

Field Days


Ned had the chance to participate in Field Days at Kimberly Park Elementary and Winston-Salem Prep as a part of a partnership with Beyond Sports and Piedmont Federal. Lots of fun!

Earlier this year I was meeting with Mia Parker, the volunteer coordinator at the school, who retired at the end of this school year. She told me that her last wish was to do a field day for the kids. I didn't forget! And on the last day of school, we pulled it off for her, and them! congrats Mia on a long career of service!



Bonfires

We gathered on Sunday to celebrate Sam Bishop who is off to Orlando for counseling school. We anticipate this will not be the last we see of this man. But it was a great moment to lift up a guy who has lifted up the rest of us. 


Vacations

Ned and fam headed south to Mexico for an adventure. Hef is headed east to the beach this week to soak in the sun...hopefully!

Beezzzness

My mentor (in more ways than one) and I spent Father's Day harvesting honey!


We grabbed some extra honey comb from one of my hives and will use this while we spin the rest. 

Recruiting

We have a few more sombreros to fill. While I was gone, we interviewed a great gal who we hope accepts. We are on the look out for three more. Please connect us! We also have another guy waiting in the wings, but will need to hold off until we balance out the genders. 

Giving

Now is definitely time to give. Please check out our new giving platform that is slick, safe and easy!

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...
