Confession Time! How often do you take Communion?

Okay folks... We all know that God told us to take communion.

We do it. I suspect most of you do it.

One question that I've always pondered in my mind is just how often others take it? We generally do it a couple times a year; once around our 'Watch Night' service and I usually do it once (unscheduled) as I feel the need in the year somewhere.

Enough?

Too much?

I await your answers!

We do it once a year as a rule but there have been years I did it twice I felt the need to do it.

Great! But now let's make it harder now by allowing me to ask you this; what constitutes the 'need' as you see it to take communion again?

Every "First Wednesday" service (monthly). We also have it available to take individually in our weekly Sunday morning 8 AM prayer service, if people want to go up and partake of it on their own.

once a year, twice tops....

I take it as oft as we do it. Four to six times a year I think.

We have communion the first Sunday of every month at our church.

Wow, that's different! Work well for you?

So the other question is:

What 'form' do you use? Do you do intinction, where you dunk a piece of bread that you tear off of the loaf into the cup of juice? or do you use the little wafer things? Do you use juice or wine? does it make a difference?
Do you pass it out and then hold it so that you can all partake at the same time? or do you come to the altar and take it individually?

And the biggest question of all - does Jesus really CARE how we do it or even how often? As long as we DO it, is that good enough?

There have been times when there was division in the church and I could not preach or pray it out. There is something about communion service that makes folks examine themselves. I don't do this every little problem maybe twice in 13 years but ti has worked each time.
