Most Christian Churchs do, however only a few of the Salvation Army Churche have.
Of all the Christian denominations that Celebrate Communion, only the Confessional Lutherans, Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, and most Anglicans (Episcopal) actually accept the Bible's teaching that we receive Christ's body and blood when we receive the sacrament. Along with His true body and blood, we also receive forgiveness of sins, therefore the Sacrament is a means of Grace.
Mark

Jesus said: "‘I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh.’ The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, ‘How can this man give us his flesh to eat?’" (John 6:51–52). In Matthew 26:26 Jesus tells them how: "While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body."
After the resurection, when he was at the table with the travelers to Emmaus, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him. (Luke 24)
This is how Catholics worship
When a Catholic priests speaks Christs words over the bread and wine, the bread and wine become the Body, Blood , Soul and Divinity of Christ, but the "accidents" (appearance) of bread and wine remain. The theological term for this is TRANSUBSTANTIATION ( http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05573a.htm#3 ).

Bible Church's do, but it is just symbolic. Biblical
Catholic Churches says it is Christ in the Flesh. not biblical.

We do it twice a year. If you do it too often, it loses its impotance. But its beautiful the way we do it.
