A Fellow Engagement!
This past weekend two past Fellows got engaged! Haley Westervelt was in the Fellows class of 2020 and Hayes Mabry was in the class of 2021. Their love started when matchmaker Ned had them build a picnic table for the Fellow's House. I still remember other Fellows peering through the blinds inside to see how it was going. The rest, as they say, is history.
This past July when we were at Jacob and Sophie Earle Pardue's wedding, Haley caught the bouquet. I guess this superstition works sometimes, ha!
Round Table
Last week, the lovely Peter and Cyndy Barnes hosted us. These two are near and dear to us. Peter has been a host dad twice, Cyndy was a mentor last year and co-leads the women's Bible study this year. They're pretty remarkable! We can't wait to see what's in store for them in this new season of Peter's retirement!
Leader Lunch
We had the privilege of being with Reverend Willard Bass. Reverend Bass has been a part of some incredible things for our community such as serving as Director for the Institute for Dismantling Racism and Co-Founding the SHARE Cooperative. If you haven't heard of this, look them up! They are doing hard and important work to address food insecurity in our city.
Walking down to the Harvest Market. We can't wait until the full-store opens next year!
Weekend with the Virginia Beach Fellows
This past weekend, the Fellows hosted the Virginia Beach Fellows while Ned led a few courses on the Highlands Ability Battery. Though I don't have any pictures of them in class, I promise that did happen. But of course, fun was sprinkled in!

Sydney is always our hype woman!
I thought this was supposed to be a frisbee game but looks like we had some gymnastics mixed in.
Alumni
Sam hosted a viewing of the WFU Lovefeast!
Owen found extra tickets to the Wake Basketball game and invited current Fellows. Go Deacs!
Brianne came to town! What a treat to catch up with this girl and hear how the Lord is using her at UNC through AIA.
Hard at Work
These Fellows woke up early Saturday morning to help Ned at Novant.
Ismael and Ned visited Sydney at work.
Visit Sydney at the Penny Path for the best crepe in town. I personally recommend the Kitchen Sink, no olives, of course.

Tis' the Season
Ned and David ventured up to the mountains to cut down a tree for the Fellow's House.
Apparently, there was a lot of sap.
Elisabeth is making sure we have plenty of Christmas decor!
