UPDATE Week of December 18


A Merry Christmas Holiday Season To You All

Christmas Party, Fellows Style

What a week!

It all started with a round Table Christmas Party at the Mabry's home. 

As per tradition, Hef leads us in a series of reindeer games which cannot be explained only experienced. 





Yes, that's a lobster


A Special Leader Lunch

As the heading reads, we had a special Leader Lunch. To end the year, we invited four alums to speak to the Fellows. It's the first time we ever had former Fellows speak as Leader Lunch speakers. 

It will not be our last!

Thank you Wyatt Hill, Molly Todd, Caroline Filston, and Christian McConnon!


Bible Study

We had our final Bible study of the year indoors as it was a bit nippy outside.

Class

We ended our course on Racial Reconciliation and Beloved Community with a little yarn experience. 

Room Makeover

Reena Fernando has blessed the Fellows with a beautiful room makeover. 



Her small group came on Wednesday to put on the final touches. We can't thank you enough!!!

Christmas for the City

Words cannot describe the blessing Christmas for the City is. This year, the Fellows served throughout the building. An added treat was witnessing Fellows alums take leadership roles as well. 







Family Friend

Ian visited his Family Friends one last time before the break...

Special Visitors

What a treat to have Reese and Julia (year one Fellows) swing through town on their way to a wedding!



Life Skills

The Fellows had a little life skills lesson this week. Marley Cait got to put in new spark plugs in her car!

Recruiting

We are awaiting to hear back from a few folks who are weighing the decision to become Fellows here next year. Please pray for yesses! And pray for more applications!!!

The holidays is a time when lots of college students are back home. We would be happy to talk with them over the break. Please put us in contact (336) 413-4918

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...
