Oh what a beautiful morning!

WELCOME TO THE WORLD!

We are celebrating Ada Grace McConnon born this past Saturday at 9:44pm, weighing 7lbs.

Christian and Sydney are doing well!

The Fellows keeps on growing. What a blessing!

WELCOME TO THE GANG!

Speaking of adding to our numbers. Philip Maghen wisely asked Caroline Filston to marry him. She said yes!!!

HALEY WAS BORN!

We had the fun of wishing Haley a happy birthday. Festivities lasted all week. With a cinnamon bun on Monday. Wednesday, bring the actual day. And a sunrise birthday hike on Saturday!

No complaints here. She is worth it!

Happy Birthday Haley!

ROUND TABLE

The Snow's dog was very happy to host Round Table on Monday

The table was long and rectangular.

The sunset was all right.

A great night was had by all. The highlight was a time of sharing from our hosts. What a great reminder that the Lord is Lord through the good times and the hard times.

Thank you!

LEADER LUNCH

We had the very best Leader Lunch speaker on Wednesday (a little biased, I know). Dr. Lia Erickson.

Her story is so inspiring!

Thank you!

CLASSES

We wrapped up our two fall seminars with Katy Benoit and Joe Moore on Friday. We should tape them!

Thank you Katy and Joe for your faithfulness and service. We love you!

SUNRISE HIKE

Most of the Fellows woke up at 4:30am and headed up the hills to Stone Mountain State Park to watch the sunrise.

It was super windy as evidenced by Jacob's scarf.

It was a beautiful beautiful morning

We had breakfast at Cracker Barrel on the way home.

YUM!

Jacob had worked up quite an appetite.

FALL FUN

(You may have noticed not a lot of pictures of Stephanie this week. Sadly, she was under the weather! Praying for a swift recovery!)

OTHER EVENTS

The folks behind the He Gets Us campaign were in town. Pretty cool stuff.

The 128th annual Wachovia Historical Society meeting took place on Sunday.

His a home run and become a Winston-Salem Fellow!

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...
