My wife and I spent the weekend at Forest Home Conference Center. FHCC is situated at 5200 feet in the San Bernardino mountains. What was experienced as rain here in Whittier was realized as SNOW at Forest Home!
To Southern Californians, six inches of snow is as good as 6 feet; it NEVER snows in Whittier, so everything stops when one wakes up to a surreal snowscape. It was an awesome weekend!
Our purpose for the weekend was to provide high schoolers from our church an "Opportunity to Serve" as KP staff for two days. We took 15 teenagers up to the mountains to bus tables for 159 other teenagers who were there just to have fun. Hopefully, some came away with the ability to put into practice what the Apostle Paul admonishes all Christians to do in Philippians 2:4-5: To put on the attitude of Jesus Christ by looking to the needs of others before ones own.
