| Wednesday night - the Fellows took on the Fair! |
THIS WAS A FULL WEEK!
Good googa booga. There was a whole heap of goodness this week.
Here is the run down of some of it!
ROUND TABLE at the home of Richard and Jessica Shore
 |
| Porch Life |
The Shores are awesome. Their children are adorable. Their eldest was the most hospitable four year old I have ever met.
The hardest part was saying good night!
THOUGHT LEADERSHIP: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND HUMAN THRIVING
The Fellows were able to help host the NCS Thought Leadership Symposium on Artificial Intelligence.
 |
| Holly with Former Fellows Christian and Bryan |
 |
| Ned talks life with Vice Admiral Forrest Faison |
 |
| Vice Admiral Faison, Dr. Anthony Atala, and Dr. Andjez Turkanik lead an enlightening discussion |
 |
| A great audience |
 |
| Jay Helvey greets the Davises and Walters |
It was a night full of optimism and apprehension. What was encouraging in terms of the Fellows is that they were able to reiterate one of the pillars of what we believe - that human interaction in community is essential for human thriving, and no artificial intelligence can do that.
A great night.
LEADER LUNCH
We had to make a last minute adjustment for our Leader Lunch this week. Our speaker John Wyatt had an emergency, but we were able to audible and bring in my hero Bill McClain to fill in.
Not a bad substitute. Might have been an upgrade!
 |
| Bill McClain |
Speaking of upgrades, Eddie and Michelle Schapira offered to feed us! (Much better than the cold cuts and pre-made salad I usually bring! Ha!)
 |
| Hats off to Michelle |
I left early for a meeting at Starbucks across the street and all the Fellows met me over there for their coffee break! Ha!
After that, it was off to our Study of Luke.
Then the Fellows went to the Fair for cans in exchange for tickets night.
 |
| The fellows are always on the move which is why our pictures are always blurry (that's my excuse at least) |
 |
| Jackson and Brianne - undaunted |
 |
| Jacob comes in peace |
 |
| JM is in a category in and of himself |
MEANWHILE: WS FELLOWS BOARD MEETING
While our board meeting was not the fair - it was enjoyable!
SEPARATE BUT UNEQUAL: NICOLE HANNAH-JONES
On Thursday, the Fellows went to the Nicole Hannah-Jones talk at Winston-Salem State University. She brought the heat!
 |
| Her hair is flaming for a reason! |
 |
| The gang |
 |
| Late night processing at the Waffle House |
FRIDAY CLASS
We had some healthy debate during class number one with Ben Milner as we discussed the Creation Mandate.
For class number two we were able to use what we heard about the state of education and use that as our example for what it means to participate in the building of God's Kingdom. Great stuff.
THE TURNERS
Hef had the girls over to her house Friday night and read them bed time stories
 |
| Season appropriate ones |
SATURDAYS
 |
| Sophie-Earle went to some galleries |
 |
| Young Life Capernaum |

 |
| Where's Jessica? |
Whew! What a week!
Plus the Wake Football Game, Church, Youth Groups...we sure do get around!!!
RECRUITMENT
 |
| She loves the animals! |
We brought in our first recruit for an interview this week. Bailey Yerby. I must say, she jumped right in! We have another interview this coming week, and we are in the middle of a few solid conversations (all female! Come on men!!!)
That to say - if you are interested in the Winston-Salem Fellows or know someone who is - let me know and tell them to jump on it!
