UPDATE Week of March 25

Fellows Album Cover???

We need to come up with a cool band name

Just in case you wondered...

It's true! YOU ARE LOVED!
The highlight of our week was spending a "Day Apart" at St. Francis Springs Retreat Center. Saw this rock during one of my walks. Thanks, who ever put it there!

The Week.

ROUND TABLE. And Thanks to Steve and Elizabeth Johnson for cooking up an awesome Round Table Dinner for us. 

Laura and her mom stirring the beans
This photo reminds me that I should also say thank you to Laura, the Social Media Marketing Director for Salem Kitchen in her spare time. 

If you haven't had a chicken pie or meatloaf from Salem Kitchen lately - go get yourself one or three!

A great assortment of La Croix's were available

A great night was had by all. 

LEADER LUNCH. Thank you Jan for getting our food all together. And THANK YOU Melissa Parker for knocking our leader lunch out of the park this week. 

Melissa and the Fellows. Should have moved those chairs...

Laura got to show us around her office
Melissa is one of the most real folks I know. I love her story and the vulnerability she brings to the table. It is truly inspiring and exactly what the Fellows need to hear. THANK YOU Melissa!

HOUSE CONCERT

Matt Hires and Kyle Cox in the Johnson's Basement (another Johnson)
We had reps from a couple Fellows classes on Thursday night coming to have Matt and Kyle from Nashville fill our ears with sweet melodies. 

Thanks Daniel for the invite!

DAY APART

St. Francis Springs
On Friday, our Spiritual Formation Professor led us on a guided day of solitude up at St. Francis Springs in Stokesdale, NC.

Aly

The Lord met us all in really cool ways.

Tim practices the spiritual discipline of rest, which is an actual spiritual discipline
The spring at St. Francis. 

Prayer of St. Francis
Thank you Joe Moore for taking the time to walk us through the day. Thank you Bryan Pardue for saving Chanice's life when that wasp came at her. We think they must be attracted to fear because that thing went straight at her!

All ended well...except for the wasp. God rest it's malevolent soul. 

Happy Birthday Kelly!

What a winning smile she's got
May this coming year bring you joy and laughter,...

like it did Monday night
A BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND

Walking at Reynolda Gardens

I promised the Fellows that springtime was gorgeous in Winston-Salem. FINALLY, the weather allowed me to be proven right!
