Ned Erickson: UPDATE Week of Feb 18

Welcome to the Weekly UPDATE

Flashback to college Mathu Gibson. So glad he is on our team!

Highlights from the week.

ROUND TABLE at the home of Kalim and Paula Andraos. Wow. After being welcomed into the Andraos home, I realized how much I need to learn about hospitality.

Prepping for worship post feast.

Kalim confessed that all his friends are getting old and that he was on the look out for younger ones. The Fellows were glad to oblige!

As Kalim only can do, he gave us an impassioned charge to follow Jesus and live righteously. A great night was had by all. (more photos below)

Have you ever had a golden almond?

I can now say that I have!

LEADER LUNCH at the Variable with Keith Vest

This place rocks

Keith Vest took Leader Lunch to the next level. He used his story to help us see how God truly does direct our paths.

You wouldn't believe how many takes it took to get this picture

The Variable is so cool

Thank you Keith for bringing the heat and the heart. You are a great friend.

BOARD ADVANCE. That's right. The Fellows don't retreat. We advance! Even the board. After a couple postponements, on Wednesday night, the board finally got together to do some reflection and planning. It was worth the wait! What a night!

Get ready city! Good things are coming.

VALENTINES SHENANIGANS

The gals at Waughtown Pediatrics

Blake Hill and I paid our wives a visit on Wednesday and spread the love to the entire office at Waughtown Peds.

We switched it up. Blake went red and I went blond.

Then, Lia and friends turned the tables on us on Saturday and surprised us with dinner and Ricky Skaggs tickets!

Can anyone say prom pic?

what a show!

It was church - bluegrass style.

CLASSES. We continued class with Jack Wilkerson and ended our course with Rob Alexander.

We went out with a bang. Rob had us all over to his new office on Kimwell Street at SonicAire.

Controlling all your dust needs

VELODROME!

Yep. That's a mini velodrome.

Saturday, at the new Winston Junction (get ready Winston), there was the first of several promotion events for the cycling center.

To me it felt a little bit like fight club. Ha!

the place was packed

RECRUITMENT

WELCOME SOPHIE-EARLE!

Welcome Sophie-Earle!

We immediately felt at home with Sophie-Earle. She has a magnetic personality and an infectious laugh. She is our second Clemson student this year and will be bringing her talents to Winston-Salem next year. We couldn't be more excited about it.

We continue to receive applications. I'll be heading to Davidson this week to meet with some potential leads.
