L.I.F.E. (Living in Freedom Everyday) - A 28-week
group dedicated to helping women who are grieving
their mate’s sexual addiction or betrayal. During this
healing journey of transformation, you will understand
freedom from the bondage of co-dependence and grow
in God’s unconditional love and defining truth.
The Lord has called us to make disciples of all nations.
Therefore, people of other cultures and nations are part of
our responsibility. We participate in the Great Commission by
developing a global outlook, by sending and supporting church
members to be involved in planting churches and by supporting
strategic ministries.
International Friendship Connection (IFC) - The
primary goal of IFC is to open our hearts and homes to
international students, and to help them understand God’s

WORSHIP MINISTRIES
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.

Worship Ministries exists for the purpose of loving the Lord
with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. Members of the
worship ministries teams employ their creative and artistic gifts
as a means to celebrate the truths about God and respond in
heartfelt worship to him. We would love to have you join us!
Volunteer Lighting Technician Needed - Help to
creatively use light to set the look and mood for worship
services, drama, dance, and other Trinity programs. No
experience necessary, we will train. If interested contact
Jeff Saks, (909) 862-6589.
NEW MEMBERS
Please join us in welcoming our newest members:
Jessica Benton, Sandy Vahine, Joy Ogbanje, Stephanie
and Kritten Yleah and Donald & Suzanne Cox. We look
forward to serving the Lord together with you.
Cameras Wanted - Thanks to smart phones, few of us use
our old point and shoot cameras. They are probably now
in a drawer somewhere collecting dust. Have you thought
about donating it and putting it to good use? This summer
Micah House Oxford students will be learning photography
and we have a BIG need for cameras. Your donation is tax
deductible and could make a huge difference this summer.
Cameras (including cords or chargers) can be dropped off
at the Micah House table on The Plaza between services,
June 14, or at the front office during business hours.
