They leave it up to the individual how often they take it, but it's offered each week. There's a time of prayer and reflection (after praise and worship) and you can pray where you are, go to the front for others to pray with you or go to the back to partake of communion. It's a very sweet and special time each Sunday.

I agree, but our present church does juice, so I'm *okay* with that. I find it WAY more authentic to actually use bread and real wine. The best communion service I was EVER in was one where we actually broke real bread and passed a cup of wine. Not for the faint of heart or the germophobes, though. It was headed up by an old ALJC preacher/teacher, Bro. Fred Gill. It was VERY special and I will never forget it. As a side note, I loved hearing that man teach. He taught for hours at a time, and even as a young, restless kid I would forget the time and sit completely captivated as he told stories and wove tapestries of scripture.

His endtime stuff was interesting, too (albeit full of holes), but I mostly enjoyed his stories from ministry and missions.
