Church Announcements For The Week of April 5, 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 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 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.
Gluten Free Communion Wafers Available Upon Request ~ Please request from Pastor Bob at least
10 minutes before the service.
Christ is Risen, He is Risen Indeed!!
Thank you to the Sanctuary Choir, Bell Choir, Ablaze and Rejoice Children’s Choirs
for enhancing our worship experience today.

Easter Bake Sale: The Youth Group is hosting a bake sale in

trip essentials this summer.
The funeral service for Ruth Ecker will be held at Trinity, April 15, at 11:00pm. Visitation begins at 10pm before the service.

Men’s Wednesday Morning Bible Study We are studying 1st, 2nd and 3rd John. I
have several extra study guides. I thought you might find it interesting that Abraham
(Genesis 22:3), Moses (Exodus 24:4) and Jesus (Mark 1:35) all rose early in the morning
for important reasons. You are invited to join us on Wednesday mornings as your
schedule allows. We meet behind the fireplace in the church.
TUESDAY EVENING BIBLE STUDY has begun a new series from "The Insight Series" 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.
Twelve Extraordinary Women: Celebrated for their courage, vision, hospitality, and spiritual
giftedness, it’s no wonder women were so important to God’s plan revealed in the Old and New Testament. Join us as we study the lives of Ruth, Anna, Mary and Martha, Sarah, Hannah and others. We meet the second, four and fifth (if there is one) Wednesday each month in the school conference room from 10:30am -12:00 noon.
The Friday Morning Women's Bible study meets on Friday mornings from 9:45-11:00am in the
church library. The ladies are enjoying their new study leader, Deaconess Phaedra Serbus (wife of
Pastor Serbus from St. John, Darien). We have started a new book, The Pew Sisters. This 12-
session Bible study for women “goes and tells what God has done” in the lives of real women in the
church today. From alcoholism to cancer, twelve different women generously share the story of
God’s faithfulness in their lives. The goal of this study is to encourage and build up the faith of our
Christian sisters. Every woman sitting in the pew has a story to share of God’s faithfulness in her life. Homework is
not required in this study. Each session stands on it’s own, so you are welcome to join the group for one
session or more. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Phaedra at [email protected] or 314-223-1873.
IMMEDIATE NEED: Trinity is in immediate need for someone to lead the singing at our Saturday evening 6:30pm Celebration Services! Please contact me AS SOON AS POSSIBLE so we can fill the vacancy left by Tatiana Murphy, who has gone off to college. Thank you!!! Howard Eggert
DVDs of our worship services are available in the church library
They are free to check out for one week. You may copy the library DVD at your
home or work for no charge. Shut-Ins & College students can receive free copies by request through
the church office. If you would like to purchase a copy of a DVD at $3.00,
please email a request to the church office.
Are you tired of being a couch potato? Looking for a way to work out at NO COST to
you? Come out to volleyball in the Trinity Lutheran school gym! We meet every Mon-
day at 7:00 pm and play for approximately an hour and a half. You don't have to be
good, just willing to have some fun and perhaps brush up on a few skills. Everyone 18 or
older is invited. It's also a great way to help a friend become familiar with our school
and church. If you can't come every Monday, just come when you can. If you have
questions, call Keith Wendte at 630-455-1775. We do not play on nights when there is a
voter’s meeting scheduled so check the church calendar on our website at:
http://www.tlbr.org/ to confirm scheduled dates. See you there!
JOY CLUB: Join us on Thursday, April 16 at 11:30am at church. Please bring
your favorite dish and a $3 gift for crazy Bunco. Contact Joyce Tomes at 630-257-2927
or Helen Voelz at 630-325-1063 if you have any questions.
Do you enjoy coffee and tasty treats on Sunday? Volunteers are needed to bring treats and help with coffee hour. There are many takers but few servers. We really need your help. Please sign-up on the volunteer sheet. If you have questions, please ask a Ladies Aid member.

registration, whose biggest job is tracking volunteers in a spreadsheet. We need a clinic

these positions. Please feel free to ask me any questions regarding any of these posi-

MARCH BALDNESS Definition: “When one shaves their head due to extreme donations.”
Not that I want Mr. Hammes to be BALD but I would like teachers and students to
utilize technology more. I would like to see each and every classroom have the same
technology set-up so that working the Interactive White Boards is meaningful, not
time consuming. I would like to see each and every student using tablets on a daily,
if not hourly basis to accomplish their school tasks.
As for me, I am not a fan of going BALD, nor is my wife, but I would love to have
a bright, fresh looking school lobby. I would love to have a non-slick tile surface, where students can walk
safely even if their shoes are wet. I would love to have art work hung up in the lobby that welcomes new
students and their families to Trinity.
If you would like the same and would want to see one or both of us BALD, AND be the student who
does the head shaving – just buy a raffle ticket! Each raffle ticket is $5 or you can purchase 3 for $10.
When the $10,000 is reached the student whose name we pulled will get to shave our heads! Or better yet a
number of students could.
We will continue the contest until May 15th. Ask family, friends, co-workers, Bill Gates – if you know
him - to donate to the BALDNESS fund! Technology Fund $4,620 ~~ Renovation Fund $800
Enjoy a restful spring break with your children.

Resurrection of Our Lord – The women worried in vain. No one was needed to roll away the stone
from Jesus’ tomb. “He is risen!” Death is “swallowed up” (Isaiah 25:8). No one will be needed to
open the tomb of believers! We too will rise! This is the hope in which we live and in which we die.
Prayer: Lord, help me live and die in the certain and living hope of the resurrection. Amen.
