Church Announcements For The Week of June 7, 2015
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, 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 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

TUESDAY EVENING BIBLE STUDY has begun a new series from "The Insight Se-
ries" which helps small groups gain a deeper understanding of God, the Good News
of salvation, and even of themselves. Each effective, well-structured study includes
life-application questions on a biblical topic or theme, and will help participants grow
in their comprehension of God's Word and how to apply it to their lives. The class is
led by Howard Eggert and meets in the school office conference room from 7 to 8pm. Will not meet in July
and August.

For the first time in many years, the Synod’s Council of Presidents (COP) at its April
25 - 29 meeting, did not have enough certified candidates for first pastoral calls to fill
all the requests of congregations and Synod-related entities in North America. Simi-
larly, there were not enough vicarage candidates to fill all the requests for men to serve
their year of pastoral “internship.”
During its spring meeting, the COP assigned 124 first calls (30 short of the 154 calls that were
available to be filled) and assigned 112 men to vicarages (compared with 133 vicarage assign-
ments available). The council also assigned 56 commissioned ministers to their first calls.
COP Placement Committee Chairman Rev. Kurtis D. Schultz, who is president of the LCMS
Southern District, spoke of the “anomaly [that] for the first time in many years, we had so many calls unfilled.” Schultz said that “one of the contributing factors [was] the small number
of seminary candidates.” “We need to be encouraging in every possible way those men
who wish to prepare for the Office of the Ministry, so that we can meet the needs of the
people of the Lord’s Church.”

Church News 2015 TLC Community Clinic Date Set ~ September 26th, 2015 We are in need of a couple more chairpersons. We need someone to take over volunteer
registration, whose biggest job is tracking volunteers in a spreadsheet. We need a clinic
store chairperson, but would really love to gather a committee for the clinic store,
because that is a big job to undertake. We need the store people to step up now,
so we can send out corporate requests for donations. We also need a co-chairperson for the
spa to work with Nancy Vacchiano. Please prayerfully consider stepping up into one of
these positions. Please feel free to ask me any questions regarding any of these posi-
tions. Thanks, Joann Kopping. Cell 630-248-6963 or email [email protected].
Clinic Coat Store ~ Now is a great time to start gathering coats for this year's clinic. If you
are willing to purchase a coat for this year's clinic, they are all going on clearance. We really
could use coats, because we ended last year's clinic with no coats. Also, at the end of this
winter season please consider donating your coats to our clinic. Feel free to bring them into
the church office. Thanks, Joann Kopping. Cell 630-248-6963 or

Second Sunday after Pentecost – Today’s epistle from 2 Corinthians 4 is filled with hope for the death of a
Christian and those they leave behind. There awaits a glory “beyond comparison” (vs. 17). But there is also
hope for the ill and dying Christian as long as God gives them life. For God’s Spirit is at work in the “inner
self” (vs. 16). We never know what that “working” might be, and we must protest vehemently any attempt to
cut it short. Prayer: Father, help us understand that as long as You give life, You give life meaning. Amen.
