Soooo Good To Be Together

this update is FULL of goodies...the highlight for sure was the Testimony Advance. It was such a gift to get away and give each other space to share and listen to our stories.

LEADER LUNCHES!!

Tiffany Thompson. ex CIA. current Rock Star. Does she have a story to tell????

You need to learn more about her consulting work called Artistic Leadership.

David Barksdale. Community Banker. Promoter of Culture. BBQ Enthusiast.

David Barksdale brought the heat (no surprise for those of you who know him). My favorite part of the way he tells his story is the way he talks about the mentors in his life who have lifted him up.

David is a lifter in my life. And for that I am grateful.

CLASSES RESUME

We came out swinging with two heavy hitters. Martha Metzler knocked out socks off with her message on mental health. Then, David Speakman gave us an overview of the entire Bible in just a shade under an hour.

ALUMNI SIGHTINGS

Owen Wood and Joanna Lyall (board alum)

Callie and Meg

ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCEMENT

Tori Ellingson!!! She found love on...you guessed it...the ultimate frisbee field. And we couldn't be more excited for her! Congratulations, friend!

RUNNING FOR HOPE

Justin Bailey (board member) picked the coldest day of the year to celebrate his birthday and raise support for H.O.P.E.W.S. (Help our people eat). He runs his age every year. This year, he convinced Ned to run with him.

The good news was Ned thought Justin was turning 47 and was wrong.

The bad news was Justin turned 46!

Brutal!

What we do for love, am I right?

Congratulations Justin on an outstanding event.

TOAST

We christened our new hang out in Old Salem.

Lot 63 should be open to the public soon!

TESTIMONY ADVANCE

The best news is that the Fellows had an amazing weekend at the beach.

One at a time over the course of four days, the Fellows each get a chance to share the long version of their stories. What a gift!

It became a tradition at the end to dog pile the speaker.

Dog Piles

Polar Plunges

We could off on Saturday with a Polar Plunge.

Noah highly recommends.

Star Tipping

We had some night fun on the beach, star tipping and collecting treasures.

Beach Fun

We played during the day as well.

Lots of Love

Some of the best times were meal times.

RECRUITMENT

Kudos to Noah!

Her recruited us a dandy!
