Solar Update
by Ken Frizzell - Church Administrator
GOOD NEWS! After nine months,
the solar project is under way and
making great progress.
Our hillside faces the right direction and has just about the
perfect angle to capture the best sunlight all day long. The
panels, inverters and other components are either on site or
coming to the site for “just in time” installation.
After we found out that the company
we had originally contracted with
had become insolvent, there were
several weeks of some pretty intense
negotiations and meetings. We’re confident that we’ve made
the best we could out of a bad situation.
The major switch to connect to Southern California Edison
(SCE) has already been installed. All of the trenching to
connect the panel arrays to our main utility system has been
marked out. We are in discussion and application with SCE
so that as soon as the system is installed, they will make
a final inspection as quickly as it can be arranged. The
estimate for the physical work completion is about a month.
Lord willing, construction should be done the end of May or
first part of June.
If you take a look at the hill behind the ministry building, you
can see that the contractors have completed drilling more
than 270 pier holes 42” x 12” into the hillside. All those
yellow tubes are filled with concrete and hold the metal
framing post that attaches to all the other framework to hold
the approximately 600 solar panels.
Many have asked about the demand control part of the
installation. We are in discussion with the designers of that
system and have a commitment that they will indeed see
that part of the system through to completion. Regardless,
we are researching and installing some of the energy saving
lighting even before the solar installation is completed.

ALL-CHURCH FOCUS
May 7, National Day of Prayer - We will not be having
any designated time of prayer this year but want to remind
you to pray according to 1 Timothy 2:1-4: First of all, then, I
urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings
be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high
positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and
dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the
sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and
to come to the knowledge of the truth. The official theme this
year is “One Voice United in Prayer.” More information can
be found at nationaldayofprayer.org.

love through our hospitality and friendship. These students
and scholars need and desire friendships. To learn how you
can become involved and partner with our International
Ministry Team contact Gordon & Cindy Mellis (909) 7987817, or email [email protected].

Literacy Coordinator - Stephanie Deininger, (909) 583-1013
Micah House is a life-changing after-school outreach program for
1st-12th graders. We focus on the spiritual, educational, emotional,
and social needs of at-risk, under-served children and youth living
on the north side of Redlands. Our staff consists of volunteers
from Trinity and the community. For more information, contact
us at the numbers above. We are closed on Fridays.
Welcome Home Team, A Ministry of Trinity Church to
Homeless Families - This team gives the gift of friendship
and new beginnings to families who are being re-established
in a new home. There are many ways we can contribute to
these efforts. More information available online or contact
Martha Daggett at [email protected], or (909)
809-9214.
One Hour a Week Can Make a Difference - Summer
is sneaking up on us! At Micah House, during the school
year over ¾ of our daily staff is University of Redlands
work study students. When their school year is out for the
summer our need for volunteers is greater! This month, we
are signing up volunteers for the summer to help out just
one hour a week. Our greatest time of need is during our
homework hours for grades 1st-5th grades, 2:45-3:45 pm,
and 6th grade and up, 4:00-5:00 pm. Please contact one of
the Micah Houses directly to sign up to help this summer.
There will be no homework about half of the summer
which means fun activities for the kids. Volunteers can
help with crafts and/or the activities. Our hope is to keep
both houses fully staffed and open for the Micah House
kids throughout the summer months. It is very important
to do this since most of the kids are defined as “at risk and/
or under served.” Both Micah Houses provide a consistent
and godly atmosphere for the kids to feel safe and loved in.
