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!

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.

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...
