UPDATE Week of Sept 18


Round Table with Alums and Celebrating Palmer

Lots of fun had at Emi, Lucy and Molly's house on Monday. A great dinner. An even better dessert. Wonderful worship. And our first birthday celebration of the year...Palmer!





Board Social and Meeting

Tuesday's board meeting was festive. We do a Fellows/Board meet and greet prior to the meeting. It was such a fun time watching these great members of the community connect with our new arrivals.

Leader Lunch with Lanie

Lanie did not disappoint. She brought the heat and the props to support it. When I think of Kingdom leaders - this lady is near the top. What a gift to know her! And what a gift to share her with the Fellows. Thanks Lanie!

Professional Development with Ann, Frank and Tiffany


Speaking of great gifts. I often say we have an embarrassment of talent here in Winston-Salem. That was on full display Thursday and Friday as we spent two days with Ann Powers, Frank McNair and Tiffany Thompson.


This powerhouse trio did an amazing job with our Fellows. 



The highlight was a song rite experience led by Tiffany Thompson. The entire exercise was fabulous - and the song we wrote was top 40 worthy. 

Thank you Ann, Frank and Tiffany!

An added bonus was that we got to spend the time with our friends in the Greensboro Fellows. Led by JD and Maddison - this group was super cool to meet!

On the Job

Gracie showed off her new office space. It has a great view!


Stephanie and Palmer enjoyed petting the company dog. 

On the Farm

We said good-bye to our friend Annie this week. She was a gift to Crossnore from President Clinton of all people. We love you Annie!





At the Church

First Presbyterian prayed for their Fellows at church this Sunday


Fellows flocked to Redeemer for a festivus

Oktoberfest

It was Oktoberfest in Winston-Salem. The Fellows made the rounds.


Celebrating Sydney and Caleb


We had some alum birthdays as well...

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...

Ecuador: Days 5 and 6

  Ecuador: Days 5 and 6 Day 5! Started off the day by taking our friends from El Reypin to the park for a field trip. After a delightful drive, we hopped off the bus and circled up in the sunshine to play some games. There were smiles all around as we laughed, ran, jumped, sang, and danced with our buddies! This was truly one of our favorite days playing with our new friends. Kevin was the star in one of our games. He was asked to test his athletic abilities by running around with a bucket tied to his back while being chased by 10 children. He was no match, and every single one of them threw a ball in the bucket. Next time, Kevin! We finished off our park day with a yummy hotdog topped with mayo, onions, tomatoes, and potato chips.   Afterwards, we journeyed to the center of the Earth. That's right! The Equator. Zero degrees latitude didn't hold anything on this peculiar group of individuals. The Fellows not only survived but looked fly doing it. And that is really all th...

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...
