How often does your church take the Lord's Supper?

Question

Mine takes it on the first day of the week, like the Early Christians did

Acts 20:7, "Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread"

Pliny the Younger:
"..they were accustomed to meet on a fixed day before dawn and sing responsively a hymn to Christ as to a god...it was their custom to depart and to assemble again to partake of food—but ordinary and innocent food "

Justin the Martyr
"...On the day called Sunday, all who live in cities or in the country gather together to one place...bread and wine and water are brought, and the president in like manner offers prayers and thanksgivings...Sunday is the day on which we all hold our common assembly, because it is the day Jesus arose from the dead.."

Answer 1

In Acts 20:7, it says, “On the first day of the week the disciples gathered together to break bread…”

Every week has a first day (Sunday). This verse indicates that the Lord’s Supper was one of the primary reasons the early Christians met on Sunday.

1 Corinthians 16:1-2 also uses this phrase (“on the first day of the week”) in the command to take up a collection on the first day of the week. The NASB translates this as “on the first day of every week”. It is recognized by those translators that this command was a pattern for every week. (Very few churches have a problem taking up a collection every week.)

This language is very similar to the command in the Old Testament to remember the the seventh day as the Sabbath. Those under the Law of Moses realized that EVERY WEEK had a seventh day, so they remembered the Sabbath EVERY Saturday!

Some say that if you partake of the Lord’s Supper that often, it becomes too commonplace and routine. If an item of worship looses its meaning, it is not because we practice it too often.

Should we pray less often so it is not routine? Should we only worship once or twice a year so that it does not become too routine? Should we not sing as often?

If we love God, we will want to remember Christ often! This is the purpose of the Lord’s Supper; a reminder of Christ! If we have the proper reverence for Christ, this will be something we look forward to every week and it will not loose its meaning!

Yes, where I attend worship services, on the first day of the week we gather together to break bread and drink of the cup to worship, honor, and remember Christ! This follows the example given in Acts 20:7.

Answer 2

Personally I don't really give a holy crap, but my wife (bless her heart) goes to a Baptist church, and they do it once a month.
Here's a thought: When Jesus told them "Except ye eat my flesh." -- was he subtly calling them maggots?
