Round Table

We had a blast at the Paynters house on Monday. We celebrated Marley Cate and ate Cuban food. Only two more to go!

What a special Leader Lunch on Wednesday with Jen Sanders! Jen is a woman who has taken tragedy and transformed it into greater purpose. Thanks for sharing your story with us!

We completed our journey through the Gospel of Mark together and sang the Doxology in closing. Thanks to David, Shannon, and Rob for leading us so well this year!

Saturday was Anna Rose's prom! Her mom and dad also had a dress up event that evening, so it was a great chance to get some pics.



So proud of the woman she is becoming.

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!

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.

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.
