 I Want to Visit, What Should I Expect? Here at the Burr Ridge Seventh-day Adventist church we have three regular meetings each week. Our Worship Space The Burr Ridge Seventh-day Adventist Church meets in a rented Lutheran church. We have hopes to own our own place some day, but for now we are content to rent the Lord of Life Lutheran Church. Our street address is 725 75th St., Darien, IL, 60561-4239.

We collect a regular offering and tell a story for the kids. Then we lift our joys and concerns to God in a congregational prayer before the speaker for the day stands to give a Bible based talk that lasts about 30 minutes. Following the talk, we have a time to reflect and discuss what was shared before we sing our closing hymn, We Have this Hope. Most people who attend wear business casual. Suites and dresses are not uncommon, nor are jeans and tee shirts. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable. Saturday Bible Study Beginning at 10:00am each Saturday we have what we call "Sabbath School." There are age appropriate classes for children and adults. We currently have a Beginners Class for the children 0-3, and a Primary class for Children 4-8. These classes are taught by volunteers and are designed to be fun and interactive for the children. Parents often participate with their children. We also currently have two options for adult Bible study. The first meets in the sanctuary and discusses the Adult Study Guide. The second is the Pastor's Class which is currently discussing the foundations of the Christian Faith. Wednesday Prayer Meeting Each Wednesday we meet at 7:00pm in the sanctuary to share with each other to pray. We begin by sharing our joys and then our concerns and desires. Once each person has had sufficient time share what they want, we pray as a group. This is a very casual meeting. The environment is warm and accepting. Other Events Burr Ridge members engage in a wide variety of events that are not regularly scheduled. We picnic together, have lunch together, walk our dogs together, and serve together. We often have the "Burr Ridge Movers" out on Sundays to help people move. Once a year we try to go on a church retreat. Each second weekend of the month we have a potluck luncheon after our main Saturday meeting.
