THE SACRAMENT OF HOLY COMMUNION AT TRINITY:

The Lord’s Supper is celebrated in this congregation in the belief and confidence that in this Sac-

rament, 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 Mis-

souri 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 commit-

ment 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 Corin-

thians 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 exam-

ple, in 1986 "that pastors and congregations of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod continue to abide by the prac-

tice of close Communion, which includes the necessity of exercising responsible pastoral care in extraordinary situa-

tions and circumstances" (1986 Res. 3-08 "To Maintain Practice of Close Communion"). Please see

www.lcms.org for more information.

Martin Luther’s Morning Prayer: I thank You, my heav-enly Father, through Jesus Christ, Your dear Son, that You have kept me this night from all harm and danger; and I pray that You would keep me this day also from sin and every evil, that all my doings and life may please You. For into your hands I commend myself, my body and soul, and all things. Let Your holy angel be with me, that the evil foe may have no power over me. Amen

The children were lined up in the cafe-teria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large tray of apples. A nun lettered a note and posted it on the apple tray: "Take only

ONE. God is watching." Moving along the lunch line, at the other end was a large tray of chocolate chip cookies. A girl wrote a note, which she put next to the tray of cookies, "Take all you want. God is watching the apples."

“There is a logical slippery slope between euthanasia for adults and for children. If death is re-garded as a ‘benefit’ for sick or depressed adults, then it is difficult to see why children should not

be given this ‘benefit’ as well … Euthanasia and assisted suicide are contrary to the ethos of medicine, which is to care, not kill … We must … ensure that treatment is only withdrawn from

patients of any age for a good medical reason. The motive for withdrawing treatment should never be to end a life.”
