This week, we were visiting our speaker at the 500 W. building and decided it would be a fun time to replicate our original Fellows picture! What do you think?
It has been such a great year with these sweet friends. How did it get to be May????
Round Table
We had such a great time at the Hilliard's back porch tree house Monday night. Beth shared about her experience being a Fellow.
We took rain precautions...
And we celebrated Emi around the fire as we ate her favorite dessert: banana boats!
Leader Lunch
Marshall White did an amazing job connecting with the Fellows on Wednesday. His story is such a great example of God's hand at work. Marshall gave a great perspective about being a person in their twenties, and also was vulnerable enough to share how he is still on the journey of figuring all this out.
So am the Fellows Directors!!!
Budd Group
What a fun time at the Budd Group working with their young professionals. They scraped the bottom of the barrel and asked me to spend Thursday morning with their team to talk about work, fulfillment, and purpose and perspective. It honestly was a blast. So inspired by these guys.
Lot 63
We kicked off another venture down in Old Salem on Wednesday. It's a long story but we have been given the opportunity to create a beautiful gathering space in the very heart of our city. I can't wait!
Bonfire
The Fellows took advantage of a beautiful weekend to spend it outdoors. Friday, Hef provided some Mexican favorites for Cinco De Mayo.
Saturday, the Fellows built a bonfire and watched the sunset over our beautiful campus.
Community Day
Thomas was the mascot of Clemmons Community Day. I have so many questions.
Bookends
David Barksdale and Ned bookended Saturday with a great race at the Mutt Strut. We both won our age divisions...sort of! Ha! Long story.
Then, we had the chance to support the United Way at the Sneaker Ball at WSSU. A great time.
Recruiting Update
We are steadily moving forward, pursuing folks to join us next year.
We are in process with one right now. And praying for more applicants. PLEASE join us in prayer.
It is graduation season and there are always folks who emerge now that college has officially ended. If you know some young people who are looking for a great next thing, send them to us.

Giving News
Looking good Wyatt and Jazmine!
Speaking of looking good - the Fellows has a new Giving Platform!
It is safe, secure, and enables us to do things and track things like we couldn't before. We are very excited about it.
As part of this new platform, we are launching a campaign to find Sustaining Partners - men and women who will sign up to give a little each month to build a foundation of support for us.
Looking Forward
David finished with a solid win streak of Ws for the end of his Summit School Tennis career. It's going to be an emotional couple weeks for his dad as our Summit era comes to an end.
