| The first ever Fellows wall sit! |
Good morning, Friends! Today is a day of service and remembrance to honor the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.
One of the hallmarks of the Fellows Program is the emphasis on community. Martin Luther King Jr.'s vision was for what he called the"Beloved Community."
He said: Our goal is to create a beloved community and this will require a qualitative change in our souls as well as a quantitative change in our lives. In another place he said this:“[The Beloved Community] is this type of spirit and this type of love that can transform opponents into friends. It is this type of understanding goodwill that will transform the deep gloom of the old age into the exuberant gladness of the new age. It is this love which will bring about miracles in the hearts of men.” These words inspire me, and I hope they inspire you. Because whether you think they are pie in the sky or not - the truth is they are true.
Love transforms things. Today I encourage you, in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. to give love a chance. Let it start with us.

| Round Table |
We set the record for the rowdiest Round Table ever. The Moretz's pulled out instruments and noisemakers for all of us - and we redefined what the Bible refers to as "making a joyful NOISE."
Chanice and Aly took on Isaac, Luke and Ben in some indoor soccer.
A GREAT TIME was had by all. Thank you Christian and Katie! (aka host parents of Tim Spangler!) for an awesome night.

LEADER LUNCH
We had such a fun Leader Lunch with Curtis Harrington, the owner and operator of FAST - Families Actively Striving Together. It is a gym on Broad St. that is spreading the good news of mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical fitness to the city.
Curtis has an amazing vision - and he is one good motivator and instructor.
He put the Fellows through the paces.
