How to Take the SacramentMembers of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints “do celebrate, but it’s a minor celebration,” Wilson said. He surveyed approximately 500 people in six different LDS wards as well as scores of BYU students to determine the importance of the holiday to active church members.
“It’s almost completely usurped by general conference,” the annual gathering of top LDS leaders and members on the first weekend in April, he said. The two-day event includes sermons and music broadcast to millions of members worldwide, and it happens to fall on Easter weekend this year, as it does about 23 percent of the time.
“I tell my students not to take that as a slam,” Wilson said. “That’s what the restoration (of Christ’s gospel) is, with living prophets speaking to us. But in LDS remembrance, (the conference) totally overshadows Easter.”

75 It is expedient that the church meet together often to partake of bread and wine in the remembrance of the Lord Jesus;
76 And the elder or priest shall administer it; and after this manner shall he administer it—he shall kneel with the church and call upon the Father in solemn prayer, saying:
77 O God, the Eternal Father, we ask thee in the name of thy Son, Jesus Christ, to bless and sanctify this bread to the souls of all those who partake of it, that they may eat in remembrance of the body of thy Son, and witness unto thee, O God, the Eternal Father, that they are willing to take upon them the name of thy Son, and always remember him and keep his commandments which he has given them; that they may always have his Spirit to be with them. Amen.
78 The manner of administering the wine—he shall take the cup also, and say:
77 O God, the Eternal Father, we ask thee in the name of thy Son, Jesus Christ, to bless and sanctify this bread to the souls of all those who partake of it, that they may eat in remembrance of the body of thy Son, and witness unto thee, O God, the Eternal Father, that they are willing to take upon them the name of thy Son, and always remember him and keep his commandments which he has given them; that they may always have his Spirit to be with them. Amen.

Oh Resty!
Are you preaching from the D&C's again?
Why don't SLC 'mormons' follow what is ETERNAL in D&C 132?
Why does HEADQUARTERS in SLC EXCOMMUNICATE mormons who Do?
WHY is following the LAW of the Untied States Government more important to SLC 'mormons' that following the LAW of GOD found in D&C 132?
~ Wilford Woodruff, 4th LDS President

There are many Christians who partake of Communion on a weekly basis (and none use water for the wine). If mormons did outreach to Christians, they might be aware of that.

Often is not each week
Wheres your source ???
The LORD Jesus Christ did not tell us to take Communion once a week...
As you know Christians DO take communion once a week
or EVERY DAY if they choose to
As you already know
(For I have said so in the past and you like to tell me you remember everything I have every posted)
I was taught to take Communion once a month 12 times a year at least...
but it was available at church once a week
so I used to go to the Communion Service at 8am every Sunday
However the LORD Jesus Christ never set a timetable for Communion other than “”This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 1 Corinthians 11:26
So Mormons only want to remember what God did for them ONCE a week...
AQnd no Jesus did NOT sayu how ofyten to take Communion
It was man who seyt up the once a week ritual (mormons)
As a Christian I remember Jesus every day, all day long...
and not for water that was sweated in some garden...
But for the BlOOD that was shed on the CROSS at Calvary, a rubbish dump...
