    We used to do it every week in a church I was in. It says "As often as you do it..." so it sounds like a choice. So however often you want to do it. I did it every day for a while and used it to consecrate my day.

    seems like it would become a ritual if done every week but I may be wrong because i've never been apart of a church that did it that way

    Well, I guess it could be if you let it become one. All a matter of the heart. But then again, how often officially keeps it from being a ritual? If you do it every week it can become one, but if you do it once a month it won't? Any spiritual exercise can become a ritual. I don't think anyone would disagree that we should pray every day, or any other number of things. Could prayer become a ritual? Sure. Anything can. So no point in singling communion out. :)

    Maybe a better question would be is how do we keep spiritual disciplines from becoming a ritual?

    Of course there is scripture to back it. He didn't say "As seldom as you do it"!!!

    We do it once per month; I would prefer once per week.
