THE SACRAMENT OF HOLY COMMUNION AT TRINITY: The Lord’s Supper is celebrated in this congregation in the belief and confidence that in this Sacrament, Christ is truly present, giving us His body and blood, in, with and under the forms of bread and wine (1 Corinthians 10:16, Mark 14:22-24). As Christians (and specifically as Missouri Synod Lutherans), we believe that it is through Jesus Christ alone that we have the hope of eternal life. We believe that we are sinners in need of forgiveness and that in the Lord’s Supper, God gives that forgiveness, strengthens our faith, and strengthens our union with Him and each other (Romans 3:23, Matthew 26:26-28). As Christians, we also believe that as we come to the Lord’s Supper, we are making a commitment to amend our sinful lives with the help of the Holy Spirit (2 Timothy 2:19, Romans 8:6). GUESTS AND VISITORS: Because those who eat and drink our Lord’s body and blood unworthily do so to their harm and because Holy Communion is a confession of the faith which is confessed at this altar, any who are not yet instructed or confirmed, or who hold to a doctrinal position differing from that of this congregation and the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod, and yet desire to receive the sacrament, are asked first to speak with the pastor (1 Corinthians 11:27-29). At Trinity we practice Close Communion as adopted by our Synod in Convention. ALCOHOL CONTENT IN WINE: The “red” wine in the chalice and in the outer rings of the communion cup tray contains alcohol. The “white” wine in the center of the tray is de-alcoholized wine (alcohol nearly 100% removed). You may use the red or white wine in the tray but please remember that the chalice has only “red” wine with normal alcohol content. Q: Typical question asked by visitors: Can only LCMS members take communion at Trinity Burr Ridge? A: The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod has never understood or applied the historic practice of close[d] Communion in such a way as to mean that only LCMS members are permitted to commune at LCMS altars. The official position of the Synod is that not only are members of other Lutheran churches with whom we are in altar and pulpit fellowship invited to commune with us, but also that in certain extraordinary cases of pastoral care and in emergencies members of churches not in fellowship with us may be given Communion. The Synod stated, for example, in 1986 "that pastors and congregations of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod continue to abide by the practice of close Communion, which includes the necessity of exercising responsible pastoral care in extraordinary situations and circumstances" (1986 Res. 3-08 "To Maintain Practice of Close Communion"). Please see www.lcms.org for more information. Gluten Free Communion Wafers Available Upon Request ~ Please request from Pastor Bob at least 10 minutes before the service.

Ladies Aid had their monthly meeting on Monday, April 11. Marge Krueger started the meeting with a very inspirational devotion titled “Full Sun”. Hostesses were Dani Eggert, Marge Krueger and Christine Suddreth. At the business portion of our meeting we decided that Ladies Aid will provide the alter flowers on August 14th in memory of Ladies Aid members. After the business portion of the meeting, we had a wonderful craft decorating a wooden fence post with stones, twigs, clay pots, etc. They all turned out beautiful. Here’s a few tips when using the appliances in the Fellowship Hall: The instructions on how to operate the gas stove are in the draw of the base cabinet to the left of the stove, which also contains potholders. Also, the new microwave has a fan setting at the very bottom of the panel. Be sure it is turned off before leaving the kitchen. The next meeting is scheduled for May 9 at 7 pm in the Fellowship Hall.
