UPDATE Week of January 7

They're Back!

THEY'RE BACK!

We just got back from our midway Re-Orientation Winter Advance down at Kure Beach near Wilmington. 

Jumping for joy! Even Tim who is jumping on the inside.

If you notice that Bryan wasn't in our group photos - he unfortunately had to leave early because he was in a wedding. This is his sad face. I'm sure there are lots of photos of him at the wedding though...

You were missed Bryan!!!

It was five days of reconnecting as we gave each other the space and time to share life our life stories. There were plenty of laughs and plenty of tears.

At the end of it all - we fell even more in love as a group and were overwhelmed with a knowledge of our acceptance and our belonging to each other.

Can't wait to see where that commitment will take our community.

I also believe that stories can change the world. And let me tell you - these Fellows have some amazing stories to share!
