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 Chr istians (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 Chr istians, we also believe that as we come to the Lord ’s Supper, we are making a com-

mitment 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 dr ink 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 Lu-

theran Church - Missouri Synod, and yet desire to receive the sacrament, are asked first to speak with the pastor (1

Corinthians 11:27-29). At Tr inity 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.

Gluten Free Communion Wafers Available Upon Request ~ Please request from Pastor Bob at least

10 minutes before the service.

Prayer Before Worship ~ O Lord, my creator , redeemer, and comforter, as I come to worship You in spirit and in truth, I humbly pray that You would open my heart to the preaching of Your Word so that I may repent of my sins, believe in Jesus Christ as my Savior and grow in grace and holiness. Hear me for the sake of His name. Amen

The flowers are placed on God’s altar by Rick and Jennifer

Thorburn in loving memory of

their mother Pat.

8:30 a.m. Sanctuary Choir "The Baptism Carol" - Donald Busarow/text by G. B. Timm

1. The sinless one to Jordan came, To share our fallen nature's blame; God's righteousness he thus fulfilled, And chose the path his Father willed. Uprising from the waters there, The voice from heaven true witness bear. That Christ, the Son of God, had come To lead his scat-tered people home. 2. Above him see the heavenly Dove, The sign of God the Father's love, Now by the Holy Spirit shed Upon the Son's anointed head. How blessed that mission then begun To heal and save a race undone! Straight to the wilderness he goes To wrestle with his people's foes. 3. Dear Lord, let those baptized from sin, Go forth with you a world to win: And send the Holy Spirit's power To shield them in tempta-tion's hour. On you may all your people feed, And know you are the Bread indeed, Who gives eternal life to those That with you died, and with you rose.

“Thank-you! Thank-you! Thank-you!” These are the words from Pastor Alex Merlo of Iglesia Luterana San Pablo (San Pablo Lutheran Church) for the food items that you donated for needy families from his congregation. The eighth graders delivered those food items in 35 plastic contain-ers (donated by Thrivent Financial) along with food store gift cards (donated by Trinity’s Ladies’ Aid), gift wrapped toys (donated by members of Trinity Church) and $1000.00 in cash (collected as the offering during the children's Christmas program). We estimate a total value of $6000.00 of food, gifts, and cash that you gave to make Christmas a little better for over 35 families and chil-dren who are in need. Thank you for your gifts, your generosity, and your open hearts this past Christmas. Trinity Faculty
