AND...WE'RE OFF!!!

We have kicked off our Seventh Class of the Winston-Salem Fellows!

I couldn't be more excited and grateful for this group of men and women. They are ALL IN. You may notice we are a few less this year. But don't let that fool you into thinking that this group is any less. We got some world changers right here.

MOVE IN

We welcomed families and carried boxes for it felt like days - oh yeah, it was! Fellows started moving in over the weekend all the way up to 11:45am on Wednesday!

Lucy (above) took three days driving here from Colorado!

Jazmine brought an entourage!

ALUMNI WELCOME BONFIRE

Fellows from several classes organized a bonfire for us on Tuesday night.

It was a ton of fun. Anna Rose fits right in! How did that happen!

ORIENTATION

We were blessed once again by the generosity of a Winston-Salem family to allow us to spend several days at Lake Norman for our Orientation Advance.

We played my favorite game

We went for a hike in the state park

And we sealed our time together with several Fellows traditions.

Truly, we are off to a great start!

WS OPEN

Saturday afternoon, we were invited to take part in another wonderful Winston-Salem tradition by attending the finals of the WS Open!

I have never sweated so much!

Thankfully, the after party was indoors!

BOARD PICNIC

We reinstated a Sunday evening picnic after a few years of Covid breaks. What a sweet relaxing time.

FIRST DAY OF WORK

Jazmine is ready for Day 1

Thomas created his own First Day poster!

FIRST ROUND TABLE

the Fellows came over to Casa Erickson for our first Round Table of the year.

The goats were a big hit.

RECRUITMENT

Unfortunately, Steven is too old to be a Fellow (he could actually run the Fellows if he wanted to - he has far surpassed his old Young Life leader in every way).

BUT! He would love for you to help us recruit for next year so Calvary Baptist can become one of our newest church partners.

If you know someone recently graduated or graduating in 2023 - it is not too early to put us in touch! We are already talking to a few potential recruits!
