Communion

I've noticed a lot of churches only do communion once a month or even once a quarter. I grew up in a church such as this, but for the last 3 years I've been going to a church that does it every week. I recently visited a church that does not do it as frequently and it made me think. I think it is very important to celebrate the Lord's Supper every week. Here is my logic. Churches pass offering every single week. Truly they do need money to cover expenses and we are commanded to give. But my question is this. Why is it more important to meet finical needs then spiritual ones? I think if churches don't pass communion every week, then they shouldn't pass offering every week. It's almost like they are not willing to take ten minutes out of their preaching or singing time to reflect on what Christ has done. Why is that? Christ coming and dying is the only reason we have anything. Because of that He has given us everything, but we can't take time for it? Look up Acts 2: 42-47. In forty two it states that the new Christians devoted themselves to the breaking of bread. I don't think they meant whenever it fit nicely into their schedule. This was happening all the time and I really think that's important for Christians to take time to remember what Christ has done in the way He has set up.
