May Update

 WOW!

I don't know about your May, but the Fellow's May was Crazy!

There was much sweetness, some of it bittersweet, as we wrapped up Round Tables, Leader Lunches, Service, and Classes.

May 12, we had our end of year Celebration - truly a highlight of the year. 

On May 14, we headed on our end of year Mission Trip to Alaska! We will tackle Alaska over the next few weeks. 

This Update will focus on the last few weeks of the program!


ROUND TABLES

Thanks to the Askews, Trollingers, and Ericksons for hosting us for Round Tables! 

We were able to take advantage of the time together to celebrate a few Fellows bithdays as well as prepare for our Mission Trip!

Grateful to be outside once again!

LEADER LUNCHES

We had two of our very best Round Tables to finish up the year. Above, we were hosted by Keith Vest of the Variable. 

Below, we had Joshua Swift over to the Fellows House for a great afternoon lunch. My favorite part are conversations after lunch!

We also had a great lunch by committee at the Baird Group!

CLASS

We finished strong with classes with Nigel Alston (always a fan favorite) and Steve Angle who mesmerized us with Scripture and stories!

Thank you guys for using your gifts for us!

GRADUATION CELEBRATION

Oh what a night! 

It was beautiful weather and beautiful people and beautiful blessings spoken over each one of our incredible Fellows. 

Our year end celebration really is one of those little windows into heaven!

Thank you Board for your work putting this event together. 

And thank you employers, mentors, family friends, Bible study leaders, community volunteers, special friends, and families! for making this event so special.


SERVICE

We also wrapped up community service for the year both on the neighborhood front and with the sweet children at Crossnore! 

A special shout out to Ashlyn and Jamo who faithfully served despite having their church dissolve halfway through the year! I'm so proud of the two of them. 

Face painting, 9 Square and fun at Crossnore with the kids!

NATIONAL CONFERENCE

It was fast and furious, but the Winston-Salem Fellows took our nation's capital by storm at the end of April for the National Fellows Conference. 

Doing some DC shopping!


TRIPP'S HERO

This was a no-brainer for all of us - but Sarah Angle our 2022 graduate was award the first ever Tripp's Hero award for her service to the community. 

We could not be more proud of Sarah. Well done good and faithful servant!
