UPDATE Week of October 7

A quiet moment. JM finds a few moments of solitude during River Oaks Youth Retrat 


CELEBRATING OUR CHURCHES

One part of the Winston-Salem Fellows that we don't celebrate enough is the church partnerships we have. These churches not only help us provide host families, mentors, places to worship and serve, but they also help underwrite our program. 

This year we have been honored to partner once again with four of our Inaugural Churches: First Presbyterian Church, Hope Presbyterian Church, Redeemer Presbyterian Church and River Oaks Community Church (you would think we are presbyterian but you would be wrong). 

Jessica is with her seventh grade girls

Mattie is walking alongside sixth grade gals

Brianne is with Brian Edmonds, youth pastor at River Oaks
Brianne is serving this year at Redeemer Pres.
