Hi,
It does not say in scripture how to have communion. In Acts 2 and Acts 20, it is clear that Christians participated in the Lord’s supper at least once a week, but definitely on Sundays. Acts 2, later in the chapter, says the disciples broke bread even in each others homes. So communion did not take place, only as a corporate church body!
Have a great one!

Hello,
Interesting. So Lutherans have communion every sunday and your church Ericka 
does it at the communion rail.
Which part of the bible speaks about frequency of communion? I read the 
gospels and it talks about the last supper as Jesus broke the bread and 
served the wine for disciples to drink.
Some protestant churches do it where you stand in a line and dip the bread 
in the wine or grape juice.

I grew up in a protestant church and I'm fine with how we do it. We have 
communion once a month on the first sunday. The bread and juice are not 
literally the body and blood of Christ but it symbolizes it. We probably 
believe as Lutherans do about the meaning of communion.
I find it to be a meaningful sacrament
Rituals definitely have their place to practice your faith.
I hope my brothers get their children baptized.

Ashley

David I haven't read the article yet. One thing I can say about communion is 
that in everyone's Bible it says that we are to do it every time we gather 
to remember him. This is why it bothers me with a lot of congregations that 
don't do communion every.  I personally feel connected to him every day of 
the week, every moment just as you. However having communion every Sunday 
feels like a hot thirsty day when you get that cold glass of water and you 
feel refreshed and reenergized for the next activity. It's hard to explain. 
All I can say is it is a different kind of connection and it's a very 
spiritual connection. I am not ashamed to talk or share about my faith with 
anyone out on the street either, but there's just something special about 
being rejuvenated at the rail with the rest of his family in presence doing 
the same. I am not watching everyone else but I am in the moment. I think 
this is what Jenni is referring to as reverence.  You have your quiet time 
with God and that's important too. But this is a very different thing. 
Lutherans do not believe it is the blood and body literally, but we do have 
communion every Sunday. I could not go back to a congregation that did not 
believe communion should be every Sunday.  I can see your point about how 
rituals do nothing for you and no they are not necessary in my book either. 
But watch how you say things because it sounds like we who appreciate any 
kind of ritual are wrong. Your quiet time is a ritual as well as many other 
things.
