UPDATE Week of Feb 19

 Well Fed

As you will see by these pictures, the Fellows were very well fed all week!

Round Table at Ronny's and Celebrating Dharma

It started at Ronny's house. Ronny works with Noah at River Oaks Community Church and has basically become a Fellow. His family prepared a feast for us on Monday. 

It was also Dharma's birthday, which gave us a chance to celebrate her with friends old and new.

Leader Lunch with Bo and Kathy Brookby

This is the second time Valentines Day has fallen on Leader Lunch. This year, Bo and Kathy Brookby, married almost 50 years, shared their California love story with us.

Thanks Bo and Kathy!


Valentines/Galentines

Some Fellows broke into my bathroom (not when I was in there, thank goodness) and surprised me with some "gifts"

Hef had the gals over for Galentines 

Alumni Night

On Feb 13, (I know I am out of order chronologically) the Fellows and Alums gathered at one of our favorite watering holes

Bible Study and Class

Not sure I can explain this picture, but we had a great Bible Study. 

Classes on Friday are with two Steves. 

Steve Lineberger and Steve Angle. Quite the lineup.

It was a big weekend with the soft opening of Lot 63. Trent Hancock (Fellows Alum is the General Managers). Jen Sanders (Fellows leader and ministry partner is a barista!)

The Bells (Fellows family friends - multiple times) were there

September 2025

  September 2025 It’s hard to believe, but this year marks the tenth class of Winston-Salem Fellows! We can’t wait for you to meet them. The first month has already been full and exciting, and we can’t wait to share some highlights with you. Plus, if you read all the way to the end, you’ll get a special update on what the very first class of Winston-Salem Fellows is up to today! Video Loading    For the past year, we’ve been dreaming about creating a new video to share the Fellows’ stories and highlight the impact of this program. Thanks to Jed’s help, that dream is becoming a reality and we can’t wait to share the finished product with you!

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. Thank you to all our hosts this month: Ava, Ellie, Eliza, and Hardy; Molly and Lucy; Drew, Kevin, and Jed; Steve and Christy!  Leader Lunch We are so honored and humbled by the men and women who take the time to invest in the Fellows year after year and share their stories.

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...
