Parents Weekend 2006
Parents weekend, which took place November 3-5, was a great time for everyone. The weekend included two student music performances, a parents prayer breakfast, parent seminars, a rousing Royals football game, and plenty of opportunities for parents to spend time with their students. The prayer breakfast was a particularly enjoyable time as Ralph Gustafson, vice president for constituent relations, and Jim Lo, campus pastor, led the group in a facilitated prayer time for students and for Bethel.
