GOING OUT WITH A BANG
There was a whole lot of Christmas going on this week. (There is also a lot of photos...see below)
It has been an absolutely amazing fall. This Fellows class is something special and ending 2019 with them was sweet, made all the sweeter knowing that I'll get to begin 2020 with them as well!
FELLOWS CHRISTMAS PARTY ROUND TABLE AT HOME
 |
| The theme of this year has been all things thumbs up |
 |
| Love when the house is full of Fellows cheer |
 |
| Jackson and JM discuss the German response to the Holocaust among other things |
 |
| Sophie-Earle was coming off her office's Christmas party |
We had a Fellows "White Elephant" slash "Dirty Santa" much fun was had by all. To our surprise, there wasn't as much stealing this year as in years past.
The big winner was Sophie-Earle's water color...
 |
| is she talented or what? |
One of my favorite Winston-Salem traditions is the Moravian Love Feast. The Fellows have adapted and incorporated this beautiful, meaningful practice into one of the ways we close out the year with each other. Truly one of my favorite times.

CHRISTMAS FOR THE CITY
This year, the Fellows really went all in for Christmas for the City. Special Shout Out to Mattie Weldon who volunteered hours and hours and hours to getting this event off the ground...(then got sick and couldn't attend. UGH!)
JM also went WAY ABOVE AND BEYOND as the Love Out Loud Intern. So proud of him!
 |
| Great Job JM! |
 |
| Hannah helps at the toy table |

Another great event!
Nothing gets me in the Christmas Spirit or gives me as much hope for the world as Christmas for the City!

RECRUITMENT
We are in a small lull in the application season and praying for a big uptick as students finish exams and head home for the holidays. Every week we receive encouragement and setbacks. Such is the season.
Please Pray! Also, as you are visiting with friends and family over the holiday, take advantage of the opportunity to tell them about the Fellows opportunity. Then, take the step to connect them to us!
thanks!
