HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE WEEK
 |
| Hef and Sophie-Earle at Round Table |
ROUND TABLE
We celebrated Haley (a summer birthday) on Monday with a surprise celebration.
After getting the chance to go around and share the things we love about her, we gathered around to pray for her.
 |
| We love you Haley! |
LOVE OUT LOUD
 |
| Back of heads watching back of heads |
I sat at the table with another group of our partners New Canaan Society. How cool is it to have so many partners? Thank you city!
 |
| The Love Out Loud Team |
LEADER LUNCH with Baird
We had a great Leader Lunch with several members of the Baird Financial Team. Really, any member of this group would have been a great speaker - but when you think about them as a team - WOW - what a group.

| Leader Lunch |
We had a great Leader Lunch with several members of the Baird Financial Team. Really, any member of this group would have been a great speaker - but when you think about them as a team - WOW - what a group.
Stephen Edwards and Richard Shore were our hosts. They are the two newest members of the Baird team. Stephen is also a founding father of the Fellows program here. Richard currently serves as our Finance Chair.
Couldn't be more thankful for these two guys.
 |
| Stephen commands the room |
These two are not super far removed from the figuring it out years of their twenties. They gave some great advice and encouraged our Fellows to reach out and meet as many folks as possible.
What a gift to meet with them!
 |
| Donut Hour |
The Fellows filled up on caffeine and donuts before jumping in for Bible Study.
 |
| What happens if you don't beat the high school girl crowd |
Small groups were great. I can speak for the guys. It was solid. Thanks Dustin and Dave!
 |
| Ned and David got in an evening workout at JDL |
MENTOR LUNCH
Didn't snag a picture, but Thursday we had a great time receiving feedback from our Mentors. Soooo thankful for them.
Thanks Shannon, Ben, and Hef for organizing!
FRIDAY CLASS
We spent our first session working on Personal Vision and Mission Statements. We left with some half decent rough drafts. It's a work in progress.
We had our last class with Rob Alexander. He taught on the Sabbath and helped us differentiate between rest and leisure.
FORUM ON FAITH AND CULTURE
 |
| Dr. Bruce Hindmarsh |
Dr. Hindmarsh was this year's speaker for the Forum on Faith and Culture. He taught on prayer. I've got like ten pages of notes.
Big Idea: Prayer wasn't made for us, we were made for prayer. It is an essential part of being human.
 |
| Some of the songs were new to us |
 |
| Great to see Ashley Trewhella (year 2 fellow) in the audience. Hi Charles! |
We also had an OG Fellow with us. Christina Sandstedt came to visit for the weekend while she was training for a new deployment at Camp Le Jeune. In four weeks, she will be shipping out to Bahrain for the next year.
Pray for her!
 |
| We enjoyed some sweet hang out time after the first session |
 |
| Brianne is way better at selfies than I am |
 |
| See? |

This year, the guys planned a surprise evening for the ladies.

After a great dinner supplied by the Porch, We hired some shag instructors to teach us some moves.
