Update - December 6

 


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.

Update - November 29


Friendsgiving 2021

Last week was a pretty short week in terms of programming for the Fellows. Before the Fellows headed home for Thanksgiving, we had a wonderful Friendsgiving at the Fellows House. 


Mallory was responsible for the beautiful table decor!


Jamo cooked a delicious mac + cheese!


Wil brought cranberry sauce, but we didn't have a can opener. So, it was more of a decoration, ha!


Ashlyn enjoying a yummy cider that Mallory made. 



Fun games during Friendsgiving


We feasted! The Fellows prepared an amazing meal!


Thanksgiving Travels

Most of the Fellows traveled home for Thanksgiving. Here are some of the highlights: 





Miranda surprised her parents and flew home to Peru! Look at that view!


Caleb was greeted by his sweet mom and three dogs!


Delaney enjoyed some warmer weather in Orlando and was able to enjoy several rounds of Pickle Ball with her family. 


Ned's family flew to Pennsylvania to celebrate Thanksgiving and his parent's 56th wedding anniversary. Happy Anniversary!


In-Between Times

I say this quite a bit but one of my favorite parts of this program is watching the Fellows develop deep friendships with one another. Sometimes, these aren't the friends they would have chosen for themselves, but they learn to love and appreciate one another.

Girl time in Ashyln's room! 



Adults can build forts too!


Recruitment Update

Last week we had much to be thankful for as we welcomed TWO new Fellows to the 2022-2023 class! 


This is Molly Todd. She's originally from Florida but has been as Demon Deacon for the past four years. Molly is passionate about the city of Winston-Salem and she is a community builder. 


This is Emi Holman. Emi has lived in Mississippi her entire live and is currently a senior at Mississippi State. This girl will lead us all in adventure next year, can't wait!
