THE SACRAMENT OF HOLY COMMUNION AT TRINITY:

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

ment, 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, Mat-

thew 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 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.

CHURCH JOKE 1. A friend was in front of me coming out of church one day, and the preacher was standing at the door as he always is to shake hands. He grabbed my friend by the hand and pulled him aside. The Pastor said to him, "You need to join the Army of the Lord!" My friend replied, "I'm already in the Army of the Lord, Pastor." Pastor questioned, "How come I don't see you except at Christmas and Easter?" He whispered back, "I'm in the secret service. 2. It was about a month ago when a man in Amsterdam felt that he needed to confess, so went to his priest: "Forgive me Father, for I have sinned. During WWII I hid a refugee in my attic." "Well," answered the priest, "that's not a sin." "But I made him agree to pay me 20 Gulden for every week he stayed." "I admit that wasn't good, but you did it for a good cause." "Oh, thank you, Father; that eases my mind. I have one more question..." "What is that, my son?" "Do I have to tell him the war is over?"
