Awesome Sunday at HOPE Church!!!!!
We didn't get my brother-in-law, Pastor Paul in the photo though. :-(
Enjoyed an inspiring message from Tom Eggum; friend and a missionary to Uganda. After service there was food, carnival games, a magic show (it was great) and music by Swen & Dean.

I've know Swen & Dean since my college days. During the summer I was a bible camp counselor at Lake Okoboji in Iowa. Swen was the camp program director; in charge of all the counselors, music & weekly programing. He and his brother traveled then (& still today) performing at churches & conventions. They are talented singers & all around good guys. Both are married & live in the Minneapolis, MN area. Each work in the church ministry there. Dean has 4 children and Swen has 1 son who is in his 1st year at Naval Academy. It was really great catching up with both of them!
Sunday night Bob was able to join us (after his 10 hour bike ride - hahaha). :-/ More fun and visiting with Dean & Swen while we had a gorgeous view of the city.

So nice you were able to catch up with old friends!
ReplyDeleteSwen was very influential in my life during college! Thankful that FB keeps us in touch somewhat & t's always nice to see him periodically in Arizona when he visits Paul & Carol and HOPE Church.
