UPDATE Week of November 5

Chanice and Kelly

It is Great to be a Fellow!

...just ask Christian McConnon who just got back from an eight day business trip to Germany and Austria. 

Christian McConnon
Christian had the opportunity to participate in the Quo Vadis Institute's international conference on Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. 

Listen to deep thinkers


Participate in Panel Discussions

Serve refugees from Afghanistan and Syria
and have a little fun!

OK...a lot of fun

Meanwhile...back in Winston-Salem

Tripp Wilson nailed Round Table 

Mathu, Aly and Kelly

Obviously no fun was being had back in Winston-Salem

Leader Lunch at the Truth Network with Stu Epperson Jr.

We made a memory!

My friend Stu has more energy in his left pinky knuckle than most people I know have in their whole bodies. But let me tell you - Stu was in rare form this Wednesday for Leader Lunch. BeforeI knew what was happening we in back in the studio recording a 20 minute program for Truth Talk Live. 

Tom Massamucci was in costume playing flute. I was thrown behind the mic and we just had to let it rip. 

Here is some photos and footage!
can you see the what have I gotten myself into look on my face!


see the look of concern on my face!



Tom - oh boy



the parking lot at the studio
 A truly classic moment.

After that our Fellows went to Bible Study.

Some praising going on

Then, it was Halloween!

The Fellows hung out on Oaklawn with a third of Winston-Salem. 

The Ericksons had a neighborhood holiday bash and went out trick or treating in Old Sherwood.

David wanted to be a "cereal killer" this year. 

he was serious about it too!



Anna Rose was a horseback rider (which is not even really dressing up)

Lia was a witch. I think you are allowed to say that about your wife!

I dressed up like one of my anscestors

what
Thursday, the Fellows band played jazz at the Bottle Shop.

Shout out to Jenny Fulton who came by!


Then, Friday it was off to the Regional Fellows Micah 6:8 Conference in Oxford, North Carolina

Andrew Miller under a tree on fire

We had a great time with Fellows from around the country at our annual regional conference.

Laura got to catch up with friends from Furman

I got to see Jack Taylor (a Capital Fellow - from Winston-Salem)

Garrett had the chance to see Suby Wildman (the Falls Church Director who also credits Garrett's mother for leading her to the Lord!)

We also had the chance to welcome back Christian from his world travels

This year we went Christmas themed for the Ultimate Frisbee Tournament

We made a good showing, but in the end lost in overtime

The plus side of losing - more free time!

Bryan brought the house down in the talent show



I love these guys!!!!
 Our speaker John Richmond has some great Winston-Salem connections. He recently became the US Ambassador of Human Trafficking (we are against it - he doesn't run a program for it). I think he is the first Ambassador I've ever met. Pretty amazing.

Like I said: it is great to be a fellow

right Christian?
RECRUITING UPDATE

We have extended our first offer for next years class already! What!

This week, I'll be heading to Montreat College to present a workshop on vocation for a conference for their student body. That's Tuesday.

Wednesday, I'm off to Chapel Hill to participate in a panel for Fellows Programs at the NC Study Center.

I'm also meeting with an interested Wake Student.

Hoping for more than a few!
