How often do you like to take communion?

It is such a special time for me and I really like to do it weekly.

Re: How often do you like to take communion?

We usually do it once a year at watch night service. There are no Biblical commands to how many times you do it just, "as oft ye do" it can be every time you come together or once a year, or any variation thereof.
I "personally" don't like the idea of taking it to often because I do not want it to become to common.

Often enough to stay sacred but never common. For each person that could be different.
