Sorry, I guess I got your post mixed up with someone elses. So do you believe it's up to each pastor to decide for his congregation?
I made the decision along with my church board. We are an independent church, but if we were a part of a denomination that practiced it on a set schedule, I see no issue with that.

Would you mind telling me which denomination, Vizio. I've always been curious about that.
I have often thought it would be nice to observe the Lord's Supper as He instituted it. Have a meal and at the end of the meal do it. Seems like we make it too formal of a thing and to me it seems Jesus made it more intimate than we do today.
That's not true .... Jesus said "IS" not "represents"
Luke 22:19
And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “Thisismybody given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”
Matthew 26:27-28
Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
Unlike the RC who takes it to the unscriptural level of transubstantiation ... never the less Jesus still revealed it as --------> IS <--------------
and
Jesus connects it with the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins

I'm in an independent church. My previous church was a Bible church -- pretty close to Mennonite. There were quite a few Mennonites in the church.
From what I understand, a Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, etc do it on a set schedule--as per their denomination. I might be wrong about that, but my point was that if another church were in a denomination that were to set a time frame to schedule communion, that's up to them. It's not a doctrine or a belief that I would consider worthy of arguing or fighting over when or how often to partake of communion.

Interesting. When my dad was away in World War II, my mother had two roommates. One was Memmonite, the other Jewish. So, a Mennonite, a Mormon and a Jew walk into a bar. No, not really. They got along great, though, and their religion never got in the way of their friendship.
